Cool. Let's kill two birds with one stone then :)

That's strange. I have successuflly built it on both a 32- and a
64-bit machine this week. I've been using rev
1ee8ef4190f85934479fa00abbc29e164af80f00 (which has been head of the
or1k branch since late november), and the build instructions outlined
here (http://wallento.github.io/newlib/). If you have some logs, I
would be happy to take a look

No news regarding that unfortunately, but in the meantime one of the
other OpenRISCers is busy hunting down the last of the GCC regression
