 From previous discussions, it seems that the agreed way is:
 - n64 kernel
 - n32 userland
 - plus n64:
   - glibc
   - library and runtimes of other programming languages (such as
 python, ruby, haskell, Java),
   - blas and other libraries that are likely to be used by programs
 requiring > 4GB memory.

 And given that the Debian team has already got the n32 base system
 working, should be easy for us to use that to bootstrap to Ubuntu, but
 Michael wants n64 kernel (to support >4GB of global address space),
 would it be easy to compile an n64 Ubuntu kernel?

 Is this the way to go?
