 Some time ago, there was talk about porting BSD (net2 i presume)
to the pc532. Is anyone working on it, or did the idea just fade
away? If not, is there anything organized or just some solitude
hacking?

 I have recently (ie. today) been thinking about setting up a
crosscompiling environment for the pc532 on our sparcserver. The
purpose is trying to port BSD (didn't guess that, did you? ;) Have
anyone else already done this or do I have to start from scratch?

 I guess gcc and gas are the best choices for compiling, and ld, ar,
ranlib and libc is available both from FSF and the net2 release. Do
I need anything else?

 Note: I'm not too used to kernel hacking, so don't expect me to port
BSD for you. I'm doing this for learning unix and for my own pleasure.
If I happen to come up with something useful, I don't mind...
