+To port the diet libc to a new architecture, you need to:
+
+ - edit Makefile to detect the architecture
+ - create a directory for the architecture, and put a Makefile.add in
+ it. Look at the other Makefile.adds for guidance.
+ - provide start.S (the start code, look at glibc)
+ - provide unified.S (the unified syscall)
+ - provide syscalls.h (the syscall numbers, from asm/unistd.h)
+ - provide setjmp and longjmp
+ - edit include/setjmp.h
+ - pipe, clone and mmap often need special care
+ - edit include/sys/ioctl.h
+ - edit include/sys/ptrace.h
+ - edit include/asm/sigcontext.h
+ - edit include/sys/ucontext.h
+ - edit include/endian.h
+ - edit include/fcntl.h
+ - edit include/sys/mman.h
+ - edit include/sys/shm.h
+ - edit include/sys/stat.h
+ - edit include/errno.h
+ - edit syscalls.h
+ - edit include/termios.h
+ - edit diet.c to make it recognize the architecture and add proper
+ CFLAGS
+ - edit libcompat/syscall.S
+
+(I may have missed a few)
