A couple of things that come to mind:

1. Code generation would need to take into consideration the way OS-9 
spawns processes and hands them memory (U points to the process's data 
area, DP to the beginning of the data area, if memory serves). cstart 
would need to know about parameters and environment variable passage.

2. Code generation would have to be position-independent.
