What are the general feelings towards the configuration system? The XML make stuff never really was an improvement over Kconfig + Kbuild, so we might move over to that... Lot's of people know it, it's easy to integrate, and it's not another layer on top of make.
Kconfig + Kbuild would be Just Another Dependency(tm), I fear.
On Mac OS X, after building GMP, MPFR, binutils and GCC, cross- compilation for sparc64 still fails due to header/type errors. Adding more dependencies for the build system is unlikely to increase the portability of OpenBIOS.
