Hi,

is there still interest into getting this into Debian? I am wondering 
what the current state is /which blockers exist. This was prompted by 
wanting to develop on the riscv core on the raspberry pi 2 pico; and 
having to download a thirdparty toolchain, which is not ideal.
I'd be willing to help.
