Thanks, Yoann.

Ken-cc may be the missing piece of the puzzle for me, however it is a
little too early to tell. Right now I'm working on compiling the kernel
which SHOULD, theoretically, be easier then userspace since the kernel
is far, far more hermetic than the userspace.

Anyhow, I'll be sure to post the method for doing it, should I
eventually end up victorious.
