For those processors which support 26-bit mode, it should be a SMOP
(kernel ELF support, replacement setregs() and probably changes to the
signal-handling glue).  For newer processors, it's impossible because they
don't have 26-bit emulation any more.  A better approach would be to tweak
GCC so that it can output code that'll work on both architectures (it may
do this already with the right options), but I haven't looked into that
possibility yet.
