That's not true.  There's a C fallback which is used in case no assembly
version is available.

I don't think you need to do all that, unless I'm mistaken.  Here's docs
on how to cross-build: http://wiki.call-cc.org/man/4/Cross%20development

I have done this only once, and by my recollection the recipe from the
docs "just worked".  I don't know much about it.

Cheers,
