I prefer to think of these ports as degraded, not impossible. You won't get NPEs in all situations, due to how we wrote the CNI code. (This could be fixed, of course, but motivation is low.) Well-behaved code will still work fine. We've done plenty of ports to MMU-less systems in the past. In fact the first port was to a MIPS platform with no MMU, no threads (we used a "qthreads" package based on setjmp), no I/O, etc. This is still possible in theory, though probably bits of configury have rotted over time out of disuse. (Though I think Anthony does builds like this from time to time, doesn't he?) Tom
