" summary

Maintains upstream ports for Linux, binutils, gdb and gcc and reports concrete progress: upstreamed Linux and newlib patches (about 20 newlib patches cleaned), a new OpenRISC spec 1.2 for SMP memory model, and GCC port accepted pending FSF paperwork after running the 84,000-test GCC suite (roughly 5,000 failures early, mostly fixed). Brings QEMU SMP support and advises using QEMU for development; has OpenOCD SMP patches and USB driver work still not merged and FPU / in-Linux gdb support unfinished.
