Ok, I was unaware of this. From my side I often use amdahl for debugging because it has more memory and is faster than abel, which in the case of WebKit makes a huge difference. If the armel buildds don't have this problem and can build the package fine then it's not a big deal for me. > That *can* be changed, but a better solution for now would be to use > a machine with a v7 or earlier CPU (like abel). Ok, feel free to close the bug in this case. Berto
