I am currently working on different projects, but I will try to do my
best to help with this (but just might require more time than I would
otherwise need).
Given the scale of the task and the amount of testing required, I expect
that it will take a while to get a complete set of patches reviewed and
tested which should hopefully be enough to fix support for all platforms
affected.
