Yes, work is underway. There is a summary of the current progress at:
http://mlton.org/pipermail/mlton/2005-December/028421.html
The C-side of the Basis Library implementation has been refactored to
properly handle different native representations of primitive C-types; The
SML-side of the Basis Library is currently being refactored.
