My comment was not intended to indicate that I don't value your testing contributions, Paul. I am more concerned that Nathan is wasting time fixing support for an effectively useless platform. It's not like this is a case where making the more portable change improves our general correctness on other platforms; it's a very (<= ARMv5)-specific situation. If there's actually an official list of supported platforms somewhere, then I'll let Nathan decide whether he wants to submit an RFC to drop ARMv5 support. I know I'd support it, but I don't care enough to write an RFC of my own right now. -Dave
