I just want to clarify: there is no actual problem with the MBlaze backend,
and this isn't a trap. ;] It's a really nice backend, the code quality is
fine, we just need an active maintainer to help fix issues and keep it up
to date as the code generator layer evolves. =] Hopefully someone is
interested in getting involved in the community here and contributing to
the backend.
