Yes. We have built BirliX using MOCKA.
( BirliX is a distributed operating system 
with a UNIX 4.3 emulation, support for checkpointing and some support 
to built securable systems on top of it.)
Alltogether it is 200000+ lines of M2, appr. 350 M2 Modules (X.md and X.mi count as one).
We were among the first users and experienced and helped to remove
some "Kinderkrankheiten". But now we are quite happy with it.
A group at TH Darmstadt is about to move BirliX to a i386 based machine
and had to retarget MOCKA first. They did it in appr. 2.5 months.
