You can pretty easily fix 2.8 to do it, as the biggest problem is teaching boot.c about 431 executables. I ran into the same problem, but got around it by flushing some stuff I had macro expanded. Now that the sys is again growing like topsy, seperate overlay is the only way. I think you'll find no trouble with the mch.s , borrowing from m40.s. I can't give you the latest 2.8 stuff because the sys was reworked again to cut the thunk space overhead by 2/3 and the speed increase 10x .
