Look in the mailing list archives around December last year or January
this year for posts about getting it running on ARM CPU's, perhaps
Netwinder machines. A bit of it is quoted in compatability.html,
but not enough.

One problem there was in the ARM assembler in GMP. The solution was a
change in the makefile to make it use generic C code.
