Hmm - you're out of luck. I haven't ported this stuff
to your CPU (yet). Probably not too hard but I'd need
to familiarise myself with the machine, ABI and
machine-specifica of ELF in order to do this work.

Frankly - this is not a high priority since we don't use
this target here ATM. I'd be glad to help if someone
wants to take this on.

Basically, you'd have to
CEXP:
  - add lm32 support to pmelf (mostly consists of adding
    definitions for the machine and relocations to a header.
  - add lm32 support to pmbfd (support lm32-specific relocations)
  - handle quirks (if any - e.g., memory regions) in the cexpsh
    loader/run-time linker

NOTE: you can avoid the first two steps if you configure CEXP
to use 'real' BFD instead of non-gpl 'pmbfd' (poor-man's BFD).

GeSys (system application, providing vxworks'ish look'n feel):
  - (hopefully) minimal additions to support your cpu/board.

- T.

PS
I send you a tarball of a current cexp snapshot off-list...
