The basic port itself does not require that much work as most of it has
been done in the past and the autobuilders keep the set of built
packages on current state. From time to time the build toolchain
breaks or somebody decides we need new threads so people like me
and Guido sit down and try to fix it at a beer (I drink the beer, guido
does the coding)

Its not that easy - Its running ISA I + ll/sc which is emulated in
kernel for CPUs like the R3k which does not have it.
