To support all drivers is not the main goal. This is the Linux main goal.
The main goal in muLinux is to achieve some result in inusual way,
learning something, employing (if possible) the mind, not the compiler.
The portable system is only a "by-product" of the whole thing.
I know, that'is difficult to accept for someone. MuLinux is, and should
remains, a little laboratory where to experiment fancy scripts and tricks.
The best examples (almost a paradigm) is the SB patch idea, by
M. Angel: the sound.o module comes with IRQ and IOBASE cabled in it;
the trick, in this case, had been to peek & poke some byte in the
file itself, first of loading it in the kernel.
That is what I call 'inspiring'; to compile and send you the n-th
sound module is not inspiring, but a pure time-wasting, from my
point of view.
