I have decided to incorporate Musashi into one of my projects. The main codebase seems to be MIT, but the SoftFloat licensing seems to be some custom license that is effectively a BSD or MIT style license, but with some terms that are slightly awkward: https://github.com/kstenerud/Musashi/blob/master/softfloat/README.txt#L58
Have these terms ever posed problems for Linux/BSD distributions that distribute software containing Musashi?
Sorry been a bit preoccupied of late. Yes absolutely I'm totally on board with updating this to a better license. I just haven't had much free time... If anyone wants to spearhead this they have my full support to get it incorporated into the main codebase!

Is it feasible/desirable to update SoftFloat to a newer release, which has the 3 Clause BSD license rather than the custom one?

Further research suggests this version of SoftFloat is not compatible with the GPL (not an issue for me but perhaps for others):

This is the where it was added it to the codebase:
