Are you guys both smoking the same stuff? CE does not exist for PA-RISC
or SGI MIPS, and while it does exist for Acorn/Digital/Intel ARM, it
hasn't shipped on any real hardware platform that I know of.

It has shipped on a couple of NEC MIPS derivatives and Hitachi SH. There
is also support for ARM, PPC, and x86, but I haven't heard of any hardware
shipping for those platforms.
