Some work has been done with BSD and Hurd kernels; look for those and go
from there.  A lot of Debian from Etch (and Sarge, really) depends on
Linux 2.6 features.  Minix 3 would be a big, big job to port.

Obviously, one of the early tasks would be getting gcc (ld) to generate
Minix binaries.  Is that done already?
