Hi, Han!
It would be a good amount of work to modify Vortex to generate assembly code for
a different architecture than the Sparc. There are a fair number of Sparc
dependencies in the low-level back-end code, not all isolated to one modular
place, unfortunately. Say a month of work for someone who knows Vortex pretty
well.
