Unfortunately it doesn't work like that in volunteer projects.

I estimate it would take 1-3 months to fix the toolchain -- which
would only save us the existing systems (manufactured up to 2005).
When I last looked at sun4v (the newer systems) I estimated 3-5
months.

That's full-time activity from someone who *used* to do systems
work, but has not for many years, and would have to come up to
speed on 18 zillion things.
