An Oberon-2 compiler would be nice to get source code compatibility. 
However, there are several drawbacks:
- lack of RISC5 data types might hamper compatibility
- OP2 needs much more RAM which might prevent running it on RISC5

For me, there are other reasons:
- lack of qemu for RISC5 makes programming more difficult
- tight integration of my system with the linux kernel and missing linux 
on RISC5
