I think all these system have a MMU. Can Gambit run on a no-MMU system?
I'd like to propose Gambit for a project based on ucLinux on a Renesas SH7203.
AFAIK, ucLinux's malloc() uses mmap() instead of brk(), it is a iusse wrt memory
management?
Thank in advance for experiences reports and suggestions.
