I doubt there is one. The original author was probably asking if anyone 
was caring about such a thing, no ? 
My point was that on-calc C compilers are completely useless: cross 
compilation (ie: compiling your C programs on another machine than the 
target machine) is designed for such systems as these. You can write your 
C code on your PC, compile it and upload it onto the calc.

Gnome is a project which has 3 goals:
1) create a graphical desktop similar to windows' one -> not the most 
important part.
2) create a framework to build applications. ie: printing libraries, high level
2D engine, common XML file format, software components (ie: similar to OLE 
under windows).
3) complete desktop publishing applications: word-processor, spreadsheet,
groupware applications...

Gnome is intended to run on unix systems.
However, a win32 port is being worked on (at least, this seems so. nothing
is official and only private talks with some developers reveal this.)
The win32 port will focus on:
1) porting the libraries
2) porting the desktop applications
3) not porting the graphical desktop.

Sorry for those who did not care :)

It is not there. Not there for a few months at least.
