I think there are some people in here who are willing to do that.
First we need to port GCC to Merced. Then we need the details
about Merced's peripheral devices and stuff.
Only then we can start porting. I'm not much of a low-level guy,
but I am willing to dig through some of the code paths in the
kernel in order to make them more easily parallelizable <sp?>.
