Luckily enough, the binutils changes are already in place. (FYI: the
names used are 'cris' for the architecture, 'etrax' for the processor
(family) and 'axis' for the company.)

Ok, I read in the 68hc11 thread that a new port must be multi-arched, so
I'll get started with that, and then submit the first batch of patches.
(I also have some cleaning up to do, like reformatting according to the
gnu coding standards, getting rid of
any remaining PARAMS, and protoizing (right?).)
