The following target triplets have been fully tested:

aarch64-none-elf
aarch64_be-none-elf
aarch64-none-linux-gnu

We have clean test results apart from one issue in the LD test 'Indirect 
symbol tests', which we are still investigating.

The testing had been done on 64-bit hosts. I'm currently running the 
testsuites on 32-bit hosts and working on fixing a few minor issues that 
have been found. I'll make sure the next patch set is fully tested on 
both 32-bit and 64-bit hosts.

Many thanks for your valuable feedback. I'll respond to your other 
comments soon; in the meantime if you have any other feedback, please do 
not hesitate to let me know.


Kind regards,
