I haven't yet looked at your code, but what actually needs to be done?

I'd probably give it a try for VAX.


Each architecture needs an assembly stub generator for most syscalls, a crt0.S, plus adjustments for which syscalls are "special" (as in special ed) on that architecture. There are also a couple of header files which need per-architecture configuration information. All in all it is usually a few hours worth of work, no more.
