This attitude will garuntee no takers beyond your own core cadre.

Regardless of the merits of your opinion.

Just generate an instruction set target definion for gcc, do some minor kernel
work in interrupt and exception management, and for much less work than it
really takes to do an OS (believe me, I've done it before on micros
of my own design) you have something every hobbiest in the world can (and will)
use. The Penguin is Open Source, you know, in fact it is the paradigm the work here
is trying to emulate (within the differing restrictions of hardware).

If you rethink your position, I may be able to provide some assistence in
the arena of software/hardware trade-offs and OS support. I presume doing
an OpenCore CPU implies SOC with custom peripherals? Integrated open tools
will be key to its success.
