On Blackfin, there are many packages that don't build, because they
simply cannot build on !MMU systems. Our goal is to progressively add
the "depends on BR2_USE_MMU" on all packages that need a MMU to
build/work properly.
So, it's definitely not a problem if not all packages have not been
tested with Microblaze. I'll add a Microblaze toolchain into my
Buildroot testing stuff, it will raise issues, and we will fix them as
we go.

Excellent. Would be good to have :
* A patch adding the general Microblaze support
* A patch that adds some defconfig for the Microblaze board you have
* It would be even better if another patch could add a defconfig for
the Microblaze Qemu emulation, so that those not having a
Microblaze board can test.
Best regards,
Thomas
