This sounds reasonable and unfortunately it is common to have a couple of
architectures which have issues and have to be held back for a while.

Did you ask about the binutils issue? It appears to be motorola_powerpc
BSPs which turn the executable into a compressed binary image and link it
to the bootloader. Maybe the objcopy messes up the section type.  One
solution if this isn't fixable is to use the RTEMS utility which converts a
file into a C array which can then just be compiled so it gets the right
sections, CPU flags, etc. Same result in the end but a bit more complicated
for the build system.
