Just tried out this patch set. It applied and compiled just fine. It runs Mac OS 9.2 with the CR-LF patch applied. Mac OS 8.5 does boot but stops at an error message about RTAS being missing. Debian Linux boots just fine. Fedora seems ok (minus the other unrelated problems it has). 

It now takes some work just to see that copyright message. :) Excellent job.
