Is it enough to compile binutils/gcc for TARGET=vax or so ? Would prefer this
on Solaris/UltraSparc here :-)
I think the structure of Makefiles and their includes should be ported, if you
want to compile the kernel on other platforms. Maybe i look into it, wanted to
do so since a bit longer. 3 hours kernel compiling on a VAX is a good time, but
if you can get it in 10 minutes, it's even better :-)

So long.. Michael
