Dave, We all understand your concerns. However, the current issue has nothing to do with Nathan, the code for supporting ARMv5 is already in the patch I submitted and that Paul validated.
What Nathan said he might take a look at is a different method for generating assembly code, one that only supports ARMv7 and later. George.
