Current status of the GCC NUV branch

I've been working through a toolchain upgrade in
lnx-bbc--gcc-nuv--3.3, and have succeeded in building a working gcc
3.3 based toolchain which targets the singularity image.  That work is
all committed and functioning.

There are currently two problem areas in the gcc-nuv branch.  First
there is the need for a uclibc upgrade and with it a rootbin
toolchain, which is where I plan to proceed.

Second is that the 2.0.1 version of discover fails to build under gcc
3.3, and so we need the NUV.  The latest is 2.0.4, and while it
successfully builds under gcc 3.3, its doc/ subtree requires docbook
tools.  I see two acceptable solutions to this.  One is to package the
appropriate docbook tools and BUILDDEPS them from kernel/discover, and
the other is to patch discover so that we skip its doc/ subtree in the
build.  I'm inclined to favor the first solution, but regardless of
which way we go on this, could someone else pursue the issue?
