There might be a person out there somewhere who requested that feature. Safe to say, I don't think it was anyone from Linaro. I'm probably going to add a little code to just delete the extra gorp if I can't find an option to outright turn it off. I want to get us up to the newer version sooner rather than later tho and address clean up like this or other bugs in the next week or so. Release early, release often as they say ;-) > > -- > Alexander Sack > Technical Director, Linaro Platform Teams > http://www.linaro.org | Open source software for ARM SoCs > http://twitter.com/#!/linaroorg - http://www.linaro.org/linaro-blog -- Regards, Tom "We want great men who, when fortune frowns will not be discouraged." - Colonel Henry Knox Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs w) tom.gall att linaro.org w) tom_gall att vnet.ibm.com h) tom_gall att mac.com _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
