It keeps unaligned data in its memory structures, and all operations are explicitly little-endian. So, no chance to get it running on any ARM, MIPS, PowerPC or SPARC

There is a fork on github no os86 don't remember the name but is supposed to compile to arm

yes, I talked to the guy. The problem is, that the mainstream maintainers completely ignore the problem, so there's no official support anyway.
