Hello, It involves a bit of work (specifically, (1) you need to remove some POSIX bindings which don't seem to build and (2) as the build scripts were back then, you needed to manually perform the bootstrapping process by, if I recall correctly, cross-compiling the initial compiler on a full-fledged machine, then running it on Android to compile all the ML sources, and finally linking everything up with your cross compiler again), but apart from a couple of issues (I recall the REPL crashing when exceptions fell through to the top level, for one), it seemed to run fairly well in interpreted mode.
I have my files related to building it buried somewhere in the salvaged harddrive of my previous (RIP) laptop. It's a fairly busy time for me at the moment, but I can have a look if I can find them after I'm done with the more pressing of my todos. In the meantime, I strongly suspect that http://twilightro.kafuka.org/~blackhole89/files/poly might be the binary I compiled back then.
