Basically, I've got a set of patches that make the system build, and
Richard has found out the current draft ABI.  The only question is whether
we implement it or not (see the recent "enums on ARM" thread), and there
are arguments both ways there.  rearnsha thinks we should follow ARM, tv
and I think we should follow other NetBSD ports and everyone else was more
interested in discussing the existence or otherwise of ILP64 Alphas.

Given the current impasse, I think we need someone in authority to make a
decision one way or the other.  Isn't this what <core@netbsd.org> are for?
