GCL doesn't seem well supported these days. SBCL should work without a floating-point unit. For example the sbcl download page lists both "armel" and "armhf" ports, specifying soft-float and hard-float respectively. Try grabbing the "armel" binaries from this page: http://sbcl.org/platform-table.html I'll look into arm support for the gentoo sbcl package. -David
