The problem with ARM is hardware enablement. There's usually no drivers
(at least merged ones) for a lot of the auxiliary hardware
(accelerometer, touchscreen, etc.) so it would be a lot of work to get
those devices supported.

If somebody is interested in doing the upstream work to get support for
some ARM devices, I'm pretty sure that our build systems could handle
cross-compilation.
