With a colleague, I built it on an ARM7 (Intel PXA270 to be exact)
though the floating point math didn't seem to be IEEE754 compatible and
so it caused a few issues. It was also horridly slow as I only had 64MB.
This was just just an amusement to see if Octave would run on a mobile
phone. It did but badly. See
http://www.mkezx.org
and in particular
https://svn.jerryweb.org/public/mkezx/trunk/packages/octave/
If I was to do it again, my first check would be for full IEEE754
compatibility first.
