I'm really not sure if it's worth the effort with the low number 
of people interested, and the increasingly brittle hardware 
platforms. At least with the z50, it also doesn't seem possible 
to automate testing - I usually need to use the reset button or 
even remove the battery to get the system back into Windows CE 
after booting a test kernel.

It certainly would be nice to find out what the problem with 
segfaulting binaries is nevertheless... I mean, the kernel itself 
doesn't seem to be affected by that, even though it's built with 
the same compiler - but I think it uses floating point emulation? 
That's why I used to assume it's something with the FPU code
somehow...
