I was only able to ever build a partial bare-metal toolchain for score.
There's no uClibc, glibc or newlib support, so it becomes rather useless
as a Linux architecture.

Also when I run the cross-compiler on a score defconfig build, I get a
bunch of these:

	score-unknown-elf-gcc-4.9.0: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault (program as)
