Is there any development in progress to make PGSQL work on embedded Linux with other non-x86 CPUs? I'm specifically targetting an SH3 hardware platform with 128MB of FROM. I would like to know if anybody made any headstart already. Thank You.

Have you tried yet, to get it to work?  Are there any issues/problems that
you have encountered?

Actually, I will only have my hands on the hardware platform by next week.
I'm just hoping that somebody has done it before and may probably give me
some tips (instead of starting from scratch). I'm also hoping that there's
some technical document or guide on porting Postgres to other CPUs.

It should probably Just Work.  You will have to write some
sh3-specific spinlock inlines to get good performance,
though.
