i did that for Solaris years ago. the compilers are the easy bit; you
also need to modify mkfiles to add a root variable.  (it was 8 years ago
and i can't remember many details.)  for Linux, now, you're probably
better off if you can get THNX going, which makes plan 9 run as a guest under Linux.
better still is just to build or borrow a cheap machine and run Plan 9 on it.

i'll need to look at the chart, if i can find one, that gives the differences between the
various arm stages.  until the most recent revisions with FP i didn't think there was much
of interest to add to the compiler, from C's point of view.  (the compiler does generate the old FP.)
