[PD] comport and/or MIDI on Tiny Core Linux

[Giulio Moro]

That's a Linux build, but is it an ARM build compatible with the architecture in use?
Try `file /path/to/comport.ld_linux` and make sure you get the same result as you'd get for any externals that actually work. You can run `Pd` with the verbose flag and that should print some extra info about the paths it is attempting to open. In fairness, it should be pretty straightforward to just build it from source on the board, which guarantees you get the correct binary.

I have tried declaring the library with the -lib flag, but that gives me an error saying “comport: can’t load library”.
