Difficult enough that it won't happen anytime in the next three (or
probably six) months.  A new "backend" to our "synthetic CPU" would
need to be written.  Mat has a new synthetic CPU that he's designing
that will be easier to retarget, but until he's done we won't know for
sure how easy it will be to use.

It would be more than a simple recompile.  Sorry.
