You are quite correct: it should be easy to port Oaklisp to all 32-bit architectures, just a matter of making sure the C sources compile okay and doing a manual bootstrap. (Non-32-bit is another story, and would require some serious effort.) The architecture-specific configuration in the C sources are a bit Rube Goldberg, and should probably be rewritten to use autoconf or something like that. But this should be straightforward: all it really cares about is little- vs big-endian.
I will try to get around to doing a few ports one of these days. And patches for other architectures would be most welcome! A binary NMU for other architectures allowing the system to auto-build there would, of course, be best of all. I've placed a pre-built "binary world" in http://oaklisp.alioth.debian.org to make this easier. That world is appropriate for i386, i.e., little-endian; it would be good to have a another with the opposite endianity, i.e., big-endian. --Barak. -- Barak A.
