Bootstrapping entire systems from scratch is a thing I do, so I poked =20
at a uClibc config (no dynamic linker and thus no shared library =20
support, but ok) and a kernel config (the hppa defconfig is funky, but =20
oh well)...

But there's no qemu system emulation for hppa or parisc. Bootstrapping =20
a system doesn't help if qemu can't actually emulate a board to run it =20
on. (Am I missing something?)
