The toolchain comes from CodeSourcery. It's the versions stated with many patches applied, most importantly to support the NIOS II architecture. There is actually a slightly newer version out there than the one available on the wiki, but it's still based on the same upstream versions. I haven't seen any sign of a future release based on newer tools unfortunately.

It should theoretically be possible to carry the CodeSourcery patches over to a newer version of GCC but this would require some expertise and a lot of effort.

I tried compiling your test with the aforementioned slightly newer version that I'm using and it actually works. I will try to get this published soon on the wiki.
