 The OSKit Project: Alpha Port
The code as it currently is works, and is used for, the GNU-hurd/alpha port.
Known remaining work lies in gdb/stack-trace stuff, pc device support (oskit/pc and kern/pc), and IO port-space support (Alpha does not have any processor primitives as does x86 for iops access, so this is a chipset-specific/platform-specifc problem for Alpha).
Some initial work has also been done for the linux-dev and linux-fs libraries (2.2.x at the moment), but they still needs some work (they do not even finish compiling--the remaining work likely lies in finding/fixing/porting/etc. of some x86-specific portions of the glue code).
