  The Acer PICA is a dead platform.  Acer no longer makes the machine,
  but even worse the machines are very rare.  The main reason to work on
  this port is because there are a multitude of other MIPS-based

+ Recent developments:
+ <ul>
+ <li>ELF shared libraries throughout
+ <li>ELF executables that page in, unlike NetBSD where they are
+     read into memory.
+ <li>Almost native build. Very soon all the utilities needed will be in the
+     source tree.
+ <li>nlist() function that understands a.out, ELF, or ecoff binaries.
+ <li>The kvm utilities work.
