I may have posted this info before, but the Amsterdam Compiler Kit has an m2
compiler plus a RiscOs backend (which was developed over here). We are
planning to make it available under RiscIx sometime during the summer.

The backend is on the Newcastle info server. So if you've got ACK, you may
want to look at it. It's currently only a cross-compilation facility (ACK
won't run under RiscOs itself).
