ah good, so a debian port can proceed (and be published) without
having to be completely redone?

doesn't matter at all. "working slowly" easily trumps "not working
very very quickly" :)

excellent - i have the bbl.bin and root.bin examples on the page
confirmed as working. i note, interestingly, that the root.bin (from
yocto) includes a native compiler.
i'll try compiling the kernel from that... no instructions found
anywhere to build "bbl.bin" so far... and i'm getting the usual "This
is bbl's dummy_payload. To boot a real kernel, reconfigure bbl with
the flag --with-payload=PATH, then rebuild bbl." and after doing so
get, "This is bbl's dummy_payload. To boot a real kernel, reconfigure
bbl with the flag --with-payload=PATH, then rebuild bbl."
hints welcomed

my primary interest is in seeing the debian port up and running.
