<p>When you say spin, I'm assuming you're talking about the
parallax propeller boards programming language. The propeller 2
is coming out shortly (already out for early adopters), and I am
anxiously awaiting the day I can get my hands on one. I've
built all kinds of projects with the propeller 1 board, the
first of which was an FM radio.</p>
<p>But, to put this (somewhat) on topic, I've been wondering how
complicated it would be to port FPC to the propeller 2 board,
since they now have GCC ported, I would absolutely love to be
able to program the propeller boards in pascal. I do have a
couple of their java stamps, those are interesting, and they do
have a micro python that can be run on the propeller 2 boards,
so adding pascal should be doable, I'm just not sure how much
work it would take, but it would be nice to have another
language to add to the mix.</p>

With GCC being available and there existing a port of binutils it
would in principle be possible to implement a cross compiler of FPC.
