Hi Graham, what's te status of this project?

I'm currently upgrading some Raspberry Pi 3's s to NixOS-17.03 but the
build of gcc is getting killed by what I expect is the OOM killer (Pi's
only have 1GB of RAM). It would be great to utilise a Cavium ThunderX
machine for this.

Are there any blockers; technology-wise, timewise, fundingwise for this
project to succeed? Do you need help? Maybe I can help.

Regards,

Bas
