This looks like only the stub repo. The release date for the real version was supposed to be something like June 2019 but I can't find it.

I should have seen that one coming:-)

The purpose of psxstub is to provide a no-op libpsxscl.a, which is artificially needed when building libgcc and libstdc++. I'm saying artificially since the shared variants of the above libraries only depend at link time on libc.so, never on libpsxscl.so. Alas, both libraries test at the time of ./configure for the compiler's ability to "create executables", and since executables do need __psx_init() to be resolved, we provide that symbol here prior to building the "real" psxscl library.
