Oh then you missed our latest work:
https://github.com/ironmeld/builder-hex0.git

We wrote a POSIX kernel in under 4KB of hex0 that we can bootstrap with
a single bootloader binary and it is able to run all the steps needed to
get to TCC. We are currently working on getting it to build a more
powerful POSIX kernel written in C and built by the TCC it can run; with
the hopes of it carrying us all the way to Linux.

(we have a few hurdles to do first:

But it is a reasonable amount of effort we can certainly do.

After that, we will solve the hardware problem too ^_^
