Now that glibc is upstream I guess the answer is yes.
I have been building a buildroot using my glibc braches/now on master (maybe
some buildroot patches need to be upstreamed to tell buildroot or1k has glibc
support).
With that we can test using qemu user mode. I used to use qemu user mode to test
the glibc test-suite but not all syscalls are emulated so there were some tests
that would fail.
