To clarify: the old ARM code was from a complete port of Icon for the Acorn
Archimedes on the earliest ARM processors in the 1980's, which might have
little resemblance to the modern ARM processor. I do not think it was a
UNIX platform. There might be a native co-expression implementation on the
old ARM if we went back to an old enough version of Icon source to look for
it, but I would expect it to need changes to run on a modern ARM, and if
pthreads are available on your platform, or if you don't need
co-expressions, then you have no problem.
If we develop an ARM Linux configuration, we should mark it as arm32, as
they will most likely have a 64-bit ARM out soon if it isn't here already.
