The main thing that's needed is someone with:

1. Knowledge of the correct $host string for that platform (this can
be obtained by running the config.guess script).

2. Knowledge of which compiler and linker switches are required to
build shared libraries on that platform.

3. Access to the platform, for testing.

Each new platform needs to define the following variables:

        LDFLAGS
        LD_SEARCH_FLAGS
        LD_LIBRARY_PATH_VAR
        
        SHLIB_CFLAGS
        SHLIB_LD
        SHLIB_LD_FLAGS
        SHLIB_SUFFIX
        
        STLIB_LD
        STLIB_SUFFIX

STLIB_LD and STLIB_SUFFIX have sensible defaults (building static
libraries tends to be the same on all systems). The others only really
matter for building shared libraries (LDFLAGS is also used for
building executables, but it can normally be empty).
