It is really best described as a staging package for the PRU. There are
only headers and a library used for static linking. IIRC, Arnout suggested
that putting this as staging was confusing---these aren't for the target
e.g. ARM---and suggested instead that we treat them as host tools along
with the rest of the tool chain.
