The EEMBC supplied build system has a couple of bugs with library order (putting -lrt at the start of the command line instead of the end) and the harness library (depending on THOBJS but linking against THLIB). I've fixed these and pushed to our private branch.
Ulrich, I've spawned builds of your vld1.64 branch and its ancestor. Once those are done I'll spawn a benchmark run against them.
