Last time I looked at this (about 2 years ago), the most interesting
stuff was their assembler/linker (don't remember which), which was
written from scratch and not gpl'd.  

Their compiler was based on a fairly old gcc at the time.  My
guess is they didn't manage to merge their stuff in successfully.

I think we'd be better served trying to make sure that our in-tree
tools do not have any changes which haven't been fed forward to
the primary gcc/binutils people.
