I am sorry, but I do not have time to devote to such a project. The compiler
is payware and far away enough from my current experience to make this a
long, but not impossible journey. I already mentioned you what are the steps
to be taken. ECL admits cross-compilation, a process which is routinely used
for ARM and other platforms, but if the libraries it relies on are not
ported first, it will simply not run on your desired target. And AFAIK the
Boehm-Weiser garbage collector requires a little bit more than just a C
library to run efficiently.
