A couple problems to be aware of... first, rebuilding the C library requires
an FPU. VSTa never implemented FPU emulation, and given the direction of
the CPU industry, I doubt there will ever be sufficient demand to warrant
implementing it.

2MB is very, very thin, if you intend to do much compilation on your system.
If you're interested in finding and fixing swap bugs (both plain old
crashes, as well as deadlocks), then you've find an ideal starting point!
