Near future
NIIBE Yutaka posted `bootstrap distribution' to debian-superh ML
Migrate new toolchain, glibc, kernel
Migrate binary-sh -> binary-sh3/sh4
- incompatible ABI between SH3 and SH4
- can not mix SH3 binary and SH4 binary
Please help us, need more human power ;-)

TODO 1
Restart building
- migrate binary-sh3/binary-sh4
- migrate stable toolchain
- more human resource
- more machine resource
(page 7)
TODO 2
Build system enhancement
- wanna-build/buildd system is too large for us
- cross compile
- DODES based build system?
http://www.m17n.org/dodes/ DODES project
(page 8)
TODO 3
Install???
Easy to use, but..
- Dreamcast does not have HDD or so
- small devices have small storage
