Leledumbo has already demonstrated that the fact that mrmath is written 
in assembler is likely to be an insurmountable problem.

If there were a version that was buildable (at least initially) without 
using assembler you might get somewhere.

Incidentally, have you looked at Vector Pascal 
http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~wpc/reports/compilers/compilerindex/x25.html 
The compiler itself is written in Java but the generated code is... 
interesting.
