Before ridiculousness ensues, and people start blogging and/or
publishing misleading articles...

Let's be clear: there's *no* actual haiku code in the haikupi.tar.gz...

It's a few lines of asm, a very short C file that fiddles with the
GPIO, and a closed-source binary blob provided by the rPi guys
(apparently from broadcom?). The shell script compailes the .S and .c
file, and then smears them together with the blob to make it bootable.

Don't mean to rain on any parades, but let's be realistic here ;)
