I have started on it (and it looks like Manuel has started
in parallel) but it turns out to be quite challenging, even
to simply port existing code.

I'm not sure -- I havn't tried this yet.  Though I might soon.

Right now (between other things that I'm supposed to be doing) I'm working on
making everything in the Debian base system compile.  It turns out that I'm
doing pretty with with the executables, but for libraries things are not
working out well at all.  It seems I will need to make an 'ld' wrapper in
addition to the current 'gcc' wrapper, since all the libraries compile up fine
vs uClibc, but then when 'ld' gets run on them they get linked vs libc.so.6.
Ouch.
