Sounds about right.  I've done some work on n32 with NetBSD (2.14
based, though).  It took some very minor hackery in bfd and ld and
gdb, plus a whole pile of surgery on all the .S files in newlib.

If you don't need setjmp() or its relatives then the latter job gets
quite a lot smaller...

What I have isn't ready for prime time yet.
