Yeah, the embedded support is kinda weak.  I made that linux -> 
arm-wince-pe cross compiler, which has quirks and is getting old :(

This would be much better if we could just have one person working on 
each of the platforms out there that need to be targetted.  I'm thinking 
arm-linux, arm-symbian (if possible), and arm-palmos (if we care). 
These should all be reachable through gdc.  Not sure what other embedded 
OSes are out there that are not too proprietary or hard to hit.  Anyhow, 
  I think good embedded support is doable, we just need a couple folks 
actually willing to do it.
