Correct. NYU is _committed_ only to OS/2 and Sun SPARC. Given the reported
ease of moving it to Linux, as reported a while back here, "normal" ports
shouldn't be too hard using gcc cross-compilation.

NYU has advised not doing too many ports till the system is really stable,
but one can always try.
