However approximately a year since the original submission, after making various changes suggested at that time, the port itself still awaits review of acceptance. We are in the curious position of a port that has a maintainer and testsuite accepted, but no actual port. What can we do to move this to completion for 4.9 stage 1? It is not the smallest port (the ARC is a complex reconfigurable processor family), but it has been in use for a long time, causes no regression errors in other targets, and has been submitted by a long-standing contributor to GCC. Advice on how to move this forward much appreciated.
