Each architecture needs an assembly stub generator for most syscalls, a 
crt0.S, plus adjustments for which syscalls are "special" (as in special 
ed) on that architecture.  There are also a couple of header files which 
need per-architecture configuration information.  All in all it is 
usually a few hours worth of work, no more.
