Hi Mike,

How do you build the userland tree? Do you hash out the binutils part? I
know there is the binutils that I think Mars put together, but it's not 2.17,
(working off memory here).

I'll have to look for my credentials for the riscv groups chat. I must have
lost the cookie and url completion from my browser. When I find that I'll be
back.
