I don’t know anything outside of U-Boot and the PSCI Monitor (rpi-firmware) that actually depends on those ports and I've tested them with my custom ports. The powerpc64-gcc patches aren't needed to build the bare metal ports. Neither port has listed maintainers. I am willing to maintain them if no one else wants to. I managed to get U-Boot to build without GCC but it was a tremendous effort and required a lot of patches. I've submitted some patches to the U-Boot team but I don't think they're going to accept them.

I don't have an opinion on the bare metal ports, the ones I care about are
the <arch>-gcc ports used as a FreeBSD toolchain.  I would ask bapt@ and/or
manu@ what they think about having you maintain the bare metal ports.
