I keep trying to tell you guys that it's not that simple!
The assembly-language is just the part that is blatantly
OBVIOUSLY machine-dependent.
Most of the machine-architecture dependence of the UNIX kernel
is actually reflected in C source code, not assembly language.
Porting UNIX to another hardware platform is NOT repeat NOT a
job for amateurs.
