I'd like to see ctypes supported on GCC ARM platforms. ARM is the only major
Debian architecture that's not supported by ctypes. The underlying issue is
lack of closure API support for ARM in libffi. I see a patch available at
http://handhelds.org/~pb/arm-libffi.dpatch, that should be hopefully a good
starting point. ctypes CVS has a libffi_arm_wince directory, which also
seems to support closure API.
