Finding someone competant and with time enough to do it.

Are you volunteering?  Tiggr will be filing the ARM (unix) diffs with
rms any day now (if not already).   I *think* the majority of what
needs to be done for risc os is write a decent assembler; not too
hard a task really.

*many* people claim to have started working on GCC for risc os and
then you never hear of them again... :-(
