No, not currently and AFAIK there are no plans to add this. Chibi would seem a more likely candidate, but I don't see an option to compile that without floating-point support right now, either. Of course, patches are welcome if they're not too ugly or invasive, which this kind of thing unfortunately can be. Perhaps a good starting point is the -msoft-float compiler option - at least this should allow us to keep floating-point support.

Re: [Chicken-users] compiling chicken on (crippled) embedded platforms
Could you clarify, is there a specific FFI bug and if so can you report it? sorry if it sounded heresy. Or are you just anticipating potential FFI bugs? i'm only anticipating FFI bugs, and on my part, in the generated C stubs. once the devices are sent out, reflashing them becomes very expensive, so i'm a bit nervous regarding any bugs that would materialize in the C part that cannot be worked around from the scheme side. but since then i reconsidered and i will edit the generated C stubs by hand, something from which normally i stay away. and in general treat the C stub generator as a helper to write the stubs. hopefully that will give me more confidence. -- attila Notice the erosion of your (digital) freedom, and do something about it!
