Interesting. We are doing similar things for FUZIX in some cases from
Minix and from ELKS, in other cases from things like V7 and from other
public sources.
In the FUZIX case we also have the challenge of supporting 3 different
compilers (currently), and needing to squash everything into very low
memory footprints (ideally below 32K running) and to try and avoid
floating point.
The FUZIX stuff so far (barring a few more v7 ports) is at

Definitely.
