-The development of this port is currently stalled, while people are busy
-dissecting the mvme88k back-end of gcc and fixing the code generation errors.
+Recent work on the toolchain eventually produced a working compiler, as long
+as optimization is not enabled; work is in progress towards getting reliable
+optimization as well. Unfortunately, numerous kernel stability problems make
+this effort progress very slowly at the moment.
