I'd go for the Linux kernel code.  A number of issues we have here
(cross compiling, code size, license compatibility, long term
maintenance efforts) have already been considered there, so why
should we duplicate all these efforts?  And if we did, is there any
clear benefit from doing this?

Just my 0,02€
