It is platform independent (means it does not only run on intel platforms),
and it seems to support a lot of stuff. But I never tested it, because I had

Maybe the fix isn't too hard, but what do I know about this ;)

Yep.

Somebody already tried its luck (check the web archive, TWIN in the title).
It should run fine under libc5.
