Personally I think it would be a good thing for CPython to better support both embedded systems and cross compilation in general. I think that many improvements that would make it better for embedded use would also make it better for general use (such as improved startup time). I also think we have a dearth of active core committers with experience in cross compilation. Paul, if this is a particular itch/knowledge area for you, maybe you could do some spade work on the relevant issues, and see if we can get some movement on them? If we can get some good patches accepted from one or more people with interest in this area, maybe we can get some people with relevant knowledge onto the development team. -- R.
