I guess now it is too late to defer --with-float=hard for 64 bit armv8, but besides possibly tedious, full rebuilds of, (hopefully) yet to be released hardfp distros per se is not a bad thing. My suggestion for lib$color is $color == vfp (one could choose neon :-), and then it is a distro choice if using /lib as software float to be able to install the same binaries on armv4+, or build with vfp but use software float abi so that armv4+ binaries work. Major issue IMO is that things are being done thinking too much on the now, so, hardfp is good to support nvidia drivers, and plain soft float (armv5) is good for raspberry pi... > _______________________________________________ > cross-distro mailing list > cross-dis...@lists.linaro.org > http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/cross-distro Paulo
