I really don't think I would be allowed to upgrade the : toolchain if it had only been tested on Alpha and x86. I fail to see why : something as important and fundamental as the loader (and harder to : replace if you FUBAR it and loader.old) should be any different. Recall that there are three supported platforms. pc98's boot sequence is enough different than the IBM AT's that i386 port uses that it too should be tested as well.
