62 There are other tasks we would like to see done:
64         * Support for alternative compilers (gcc, including boot up)
65         * Self hosting (be able to compile with minimal cross dependencies)
66         * Increase lint coverage
67         * Increase 64-bit cleanliness
68         * Overall Makefile cleanup
70 Some of these tasks may conflict with overall goals to minimize differences
71 with upstream.  So that will need to be discussed.
