nds32 support in Linux was removed last year:

The support for glibc never made it upstream as far as I can tell either.
What are others thoughts on this?
I believe the architecture is dead, so I wouldn't lose any sleep if it got
deprecated across the board. While my tester includes nds32le-elf and
nds32be-elf, there's no gdbsim, so those targets don't provide much, if any,
additional coverage over targets in the tester.

Hi Jeff & Andrew,
After a brief discussion with the previous maintainers of
the Linux nds32 port, it is reasonable to deprecate nds32-linux
for GCC 14 and remove it for GCC 15.
However, considering that there are still customers relying on
nds32le-elf and nds32be-elf for their embedded systems,
it would be great to keep nds32le-elf and nds32be-elf in the
GCC/binutils-gdb/newlib-cygwin repository.
