 are already some ARM stubs in trunk for MACHO and MASM.

 I'm working on iOS port but I've not enough time.

 The Windows CE/ARM port was reported to work while throwing/catching
 exceptions will not work.
 To enable SEH on ARM it requires PDATA structure for the functions in the
 asm-files in order to set up the exception handlers. MASM has had a
 special macro for this purpose. The assembler-tool armasm (used for
 Windows CE/ARM) doesn't.
 I've to figure out how to setup the PDATA structure
