I've looked at it and there are no cortex-M that are 64bit yet. The
only 64bit ARM CPUs are in cortex-A or cortex-R.

Do you want me to write some simple code that outputs something on the
serial port of a cortex A to validate the toolchain?

Should I go forward and propose a v2 in gnu/packages/embedded.scm ?

Should I keep the patch mostly as-is (with updated IASL, moved in
embedded.scm) or should I rework it somehow?
