Did the Tricore gcc/binutils port get submitted to the FSF?

RTEMS uses newlib, gcc, etc. We have a Python framework called the
RTEMS Source Builder which can build an entire toolchain under
Cygwin or MINGW64 (or whatever it is now).

It should be fairly straightforward to just build newlib in that
environment.
