Which branch of https://github.com/quic/qemu do I pull to try this without
scraping 30 patches out of the mailing list?

Is that a follow-up to https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-hexagon/msg01706.html
and is this a clang toolchain or a gcc toolchain?

I've noticed gcc 9.2 has hexagon in config.guess and config.sub, but the only
other file outside of the test suite containing the word "hexagon" in a case
insensitive match is the Changelog saying Linas Veptas added it to config.guess
and config.sub in 2011. And while https://github.com/quic has a musl fork it
doesn't have any compiler or linker forks...
