Yes.

Exactly, and therefore I would urge Mikro to publish his work on  
NetBSD's UVM FreeMiNT source tree integration and let others finish  
it. The sooner the better. Otherwise we will end up fixing every  
single application just as the ucLinux guys do for non-MMU targets  
which is a lot of work we better avoid due to the number of active  
people.
