I would think that you could program around the lack of a SVC mode, but the gnu tools thing is going to be an issue. There are quite a few GCC Extensions, and the Linux kernel makes use of several of them quite extensively. You can find a list of the extensions at: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc_5.html#SEC69 The thing is you really don't want to be trying to maintain the changes to support a different compiler since you'll be having to fix them all again with every new version of the OS. You are planning on using the 2.4.X tree, right?
