Quoted from Zitt:My gut with non-x86 devices is that you run a risk of incompatibility / software stack issues getting set up. With X86; "in theory" you just apt-get or yum or whatever to install the python compiler and what-nots.
IF someone actually IS running RazPi ... with the stack; I'm sure they had some "fun" getting it all right.
Everybody should ignore Zitt's gut in this case. 
Lots of people, including me, are running non-x86 for various P-ROC projects. All of the apt-get library installs work fine on every non-x86 board I've tried: R-Pi, Beaglebone, Beaglebone black, etc. I haven't tried the most recent proc-tools install script for linux on a non-x86, but I bet it works fine too and provides a single command to install the entire toolchain. The folks who did the work creating Ubuntu images for these non-x86 boards are to be thanked. They did the hard work. We reap the benefits. In my experiences, getting P-ROC to work on a non-x86 is exactly the same as on x86.
The only caveat to that is pinMAME. I don't think anybody's running pinMAME on a non-x86 due to the need to address an ASM issue. The non-x86 boards most are using are probably too weak to run pinMAME anyway; so it might be a moot point.
