Personally I think the JIT approach is infinitely more interesting than if he had just recompiled an OS to target slightly different hardware.
Both interesting projects to be sure, but to me (and maybe the author) there's more satisfaction in running unmodified binary software on a readily available microcontroller.

I suppose it's not too dissimilar to where Apple was mid 90s with the 68k->PowerPC transition in MacOS.
