+      <p>Building on the work that &a.brooks; did to enable external
+	Clang toolchains, this project hopes to generalize that to GCC,
+	as well as support different versions of these compilers
+	simultaneously for the &os; base system and the kernel.  We also
+	hope get to the point that a port can be cross-compiled entirely
+	from scratch with no initial binary artifacts.</p>
