I have an interest in another platform: the IRIX-based MIPS systems
produced by SGI (Octane, O2, etc.). I know virtually nothing about
low-level coding on these systems, so I wouldn't really be able to help,
apart from testing. Is there anyone currently involved with the project who
is familiar with those systems and could make a basic port of the JIT to
mips-sgi-irix?
