one problem i have with the current way we do this is that we end up compiling userland multiple times for no good reason. i don't know exactly what a better method would be, but maybe using something similar to sparc port including the SUN4U kernel (which is built from sources in arch/sparc64) so we can keep kernel stuff separate, regardless of where the sources are kept, but leave userland shared. .mrg.
