[Chicken-users] compiling chicken on (crippled) embedded platforms

[Attila Lendvai]

dear schemers,

i'm planning to use scheme on the following two embedded platforms:

justtide, PC1000:
http://www.justtide.com/products_detail/&productId=897969ac-a238-4fc8-b2b6-163e506edf8c.html
(4M flash, 8M ram, some small kernel with ucLibc)

castles, Vega5000:
http://www.castech.com.tw/en/in-products-03.aspx?id=P_00000109&cid=C_00000018&pname=VEGA5000&cname=EFT-POS+Terminal
(32M flash, 32M ram (15-20 free), running linux)

both of them use gcc (they only give horribly old versions and the
cygwin executables of them), and both have problems regarding floating
point.

apparently the PC1000 doesn't have any floating point stuff compiled
in, not even truncate and round.

the vega5000 has some support, but it doesn't have float.h, which is
where i was stuck compiling chicken.

so, finally a real question: is it possible to compile chicken with a
gcc that doesn't have float.h? or with one that doesn't have any kind
of float support?

thanks in advance,
