Last time I tried doing stuff with a kernel I ended up reinstalling a whole operating system after I found my results.
I seem to remember gentoo in that respect.
I did get frobtads-3 to build and run on this chromebook earlier.
to do it, dependencies are cmake libcurl4-gnutls-dev and libncurses-dev.
Then
git clone https://github.com/realnc/frobtads
follow instructions in ~/frobtads/doc/INSTALLATION
and the build will take a while to get done.
The games are at
https://ifarchive.org/indexes/tads/
and will work well with speakup.
Debian also has glulxe for the infocom games.
