I'm curious: do you plan on executing the output of 8c and 8l in an
environment as strange as one the you are building in? You could try
building only programs and then try executing those, i.e., by using
one of

If you just want an x86 kernel, I think it begs the question. The
distribution comes with x86 binaries, and rebuilding the whole system
is as simple as mk.
Anyway, you may be shocked by this if you come from a linux background
where complilation is viewed as some sort of sacrificial ritual.
