I think they are similar although like all CPU variants, instructions
always differ. :)
I guess I can email Steve and see how this relates to the patch on

Actually the c4x is merged although according to the web site
of Michael Hayes who did the port, it does not include "aggressive
optimizations". He distributes a patch for that part.
I need to check on the gdb support also. There is a cycle accurate
simulator
for this CPU.
