Hi again What feelings do people have about the choice we have to make about the minimum ARM CPU that will be able to run the forhcoming Debain ARM EABI arch?
As I understand it, the choice is between ARMv4t and ARMv4 (such as StrongARM) If we target ARMv4t, we save 2 instructions in every function return. Is a slightly-universally-slower arch that includes StrongARM CPUs preferable to a slightly faster one that leaves them running the current Debian arm arch? I gather the point is moot at the moment, since only ARMv5t is usable with EABI at present for some GCC issue about thumb support being incomplete for ARMv4 in GCC4 (this is hearsay - anyone have better info?)
