First off, this sounds cool! One nit pick though...

If you want to replicate the old-school Unix experience, you'd need it to take more
like 15 hours to compile all the tools :)
My DEC Rainbow running Venix (v7 port) takes about 15 hours to build the bits of the v7
tree that build on it. I don't have the sources to Venix, but a long-term project is
to recreate them using the compiler supplied and comparison to the binaries shipped...
You can do better than your old-school Unix experience with a pi and linux :-)
On the 1st gen RasPi the linux kernel took 10+ hours to build from scratch.
In contrast the plan9 kernel took one minute. The equivalent of FreeBSD's
"make world" for plan9 took 4 minutes. IIRC half of it was for ghostscript.
