I'm actively working on GCC from two directions: a port of the Plan 9
libraries to a cross-compilation environment under NetBSD (I have
Ubuntu handy as well, so that becomes an option) and implementing ELF
support in the Plan 9 kernel.  The latter requires familiarity with
Linuxemu which in turns provides two useful extensions besides its own
value: ELF and MMAP.

MMAP is so ubiquitous, someone ought to be looking into it, but it
won't be me until ELF is sorted out.

I have no idea whether any of these are potential GSoC projects, but
anyone who wants to contribute is welcome in whatever way they like.
