Looks great!

However, I would advise against the CC=cc... lines in the makefiles. They
break badly when I execute the commonly-done `make CC=my_compiler`. In
particular, the Makefile in sam/sam has this:

CC=cc $(SYSFLAGS)

Which obviously breaks when I set CC to a custom compiler. Can't SYSFLAGS
be added to CFLAGS instead?

If anybody ever asks me why I prefer C++ to C, my answer will be simple:
"It's becauseslejfp23(@#Q*(E*EIdc-SEGFAULT. Wait, I don't think that was
nul-terminated."
