Once you've got it building, it should become more obvious what the
deficiencies are, but they range from:

- The build script is sourced into your current shell vs. running in
it's own
- Values in the script are hard coded and not easily overridden
- There's no "good" way to deal with switches in the build system right
now, that needs to get fixed
- Etc

getting the firmware built, preferably under Linux, is definitely the
first step though as it will expose you to the build process and
highlight some of the issues we've got right now.
