0: to test if it could be used for it :)
I hope to get OW v2 (fork) built and packaged from github, which should give a more complete set of headers/c-library functions. Basically, it is a test of portability (and how to use OW for a normal open source application) and the resulting binaries are statically linked against an alternative c-library.

1: Thanks, I am a bit out-of-date so I will check that.

2. OK PKGBUILDS have changed since I did some last. I will check that. Hopefully most of the hacks can be removed when OW v2 has been packaged.

0. …Why? This compiler is mostly useful for building DOS programs.
1. _gitroot is obsolete, see wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VCS_PKGBUILD_Guidelines
2. Patches belong in prepare(), not build(), and building in build(), not package().
