On multiple occasions, I have asked Xilinx to submit patches such

I originally submitted the MicroBlaze port to these projects. For
whatever reason, neither has occurred.
copyright.list shows assignments from Xilinx for GCC, binutils, GDB and
glibc, with no indication that they are not current, or of any restriction
on who at Xilinx can contribute changes.
Thus, I presume we simply need someone at Xilinx to approve the
contribution of this patch to GCC. The last patch sent to gcc-patches by
someone @xilinx.com appears to have been
<https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2016-01/msg02291.html>; author and
other @xilinx.com people from that discussion CC:ed on this message.
Hi Joseph,
There's no problem from our side.
In fact, a version of this patch has already been posted to gcc-patches:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-03/msg00657.html
I don't do any work on the toolchain anymore and don't have the setup to
run the testsuite. Ajit or Nagaraju are might be able to help resolve
any issues.
Cheers,
Edgar
