BTW, uClibc-ng has linuxthreads support for Blackfin, but this patch
series does not enable it. I tried to enable it, but it fails to build.

Do you plan on enabling thread support on Blackfin at some point ?

If we have good enough Blackfin support in the internal toolchain
backend, this would ultimately allow us to get rid of the old Analog
Devices external toolchains for Blackfin (they use gcc 4.3, a
prehistoric version of uClibc, etc.), so getting rid of them would
really be nice.

Thanks,

Thomas
