Yes and No.
So far ELKS has been '86 based because that is the most common architecture.
I haven't looked at the uClinux code but assume that they have set up
another (or modified) an architecture tree - so they will have drivers etc.
I only suggested it because it seems like fun (I must be mad) and I'm having
a very unproductive day so far....
I don't think it would dilute the main ELKS tree, the more people that get
involve the better (even if they are just testers). Obviously nobody could
be forced to work on other ports, it's just that some may be interested in
trying it.
Personally I would like to see ELKS branch out over many processors (just
like it's big brother), and hopefully conquer the 16bit world.
