GCC has this:

score port              Chen Liqin              <liqin.gcc@gmail.com>

But there is no hint of score in the source tree. It was
removed by Trevor Saunders in Oct 2014. gcc normally
follows pretty strict procedures before removing a target
so this is a strong hint it is dead.

Looks like it is dead. But an email to Trevor and Chen Liqin
would confirm that you can remove it this week.

What was the SCORE anyway? It's such a common term that I couldn't
find a hit for the CPU.
