LAME ports for non-x86 platforms

Is there a recent list of which platforms LAME can be readily built on?  (By "readily" I mean... makefiles/projectfiles are already provided and the code is known to compile without errors.) -- I did some searching here on the forum, but only found a list from years back.

In particular I was curious if there's an ARM Cortex A8 port available (this CPU has floating point support), or one for, e.g., TI or Analog Devices DSPs (again the floating point versions).

If not, is there much in LAME that's x86 specific?  Is there a decent chance that it would readily compile with decent performance on another CPU architecture?

Thanks in advance,

Sorry, I have no idea about porting LAME to other platforms, but at least there is a port for ARM, based on LAME 3.97b2 available here:

Maybe that gets you started to make a new port ?

Thanks guys, that's useful information.  Looks like I should just try it out on a different processor and cross my fingers!
