[PD] LibPd on microcontroller

[Chuckk Hubbard]

Apropos of the heavy compiler, I was reading up on it and simply moved on
because of what seems to me a lack of information. There was an allusion to
it working for a wide variety of platforms and so on, but no actual lists
of this supposedly wide variety.
Does someone have an idea if it could compile Pd patches to work without an
OS for some architecture? Otherwise, why would you bother with it? (that's
not a rhetorical question)
Thanks.
