Looks like an attempt to build a 64-bit Indy kernel.  Various people working
on the Origin support have completly broken the support for anything else in
their battle tank-style approach ...

Ok, that explains why a lot of things are broken.

You might be interested in some work i have done [1] to create a 64-bit
kernel for SGI IP28 aka Indigo2 Impact. Don't expect it to be less
broken, it basically does an controlled crash at the very beginning of
kernel initialization.

(The IP28 Firmware doesn't like 32-bit ELF or even ecoff kernels.)

So who will be responsible for fixing all the broken pieces ?

The one who asks about it, i assume. ;-)
