+- utils/ldd.c - if you want support for ldso cache files (spoiler: you do),
+  then you'll need to teach ldd a little.  generally, the fallback code

+- utils/readelf.c - not really needed generally speaking, but might as well

+- MAINTAINERS - presumably you're going to submit this code back to mainline
+  and since you're the only one who cares about this arch (right now), you
+  should add yourself to the toplevel MAINTAINERS file.  do it.
