if using gold on armel armv6, then you have to compile it yourself, as my patch for unaligned memory access in binutils-gold 2.23 only got merged July 17. http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15070 On Thu, Aug 22, 2013 at 5:39 AM, Timo Juhani Lindfors timo.lindf...@iki.fiwrote:

Hello, 2013/8/22 Loïc Minier loic.min...@dooz.org: FWIW, the Calxeda boxes are armhf and armel capable and make a massive difference in buildd performance (good SATA I/O, 4G of RAM, SMP); these aren't exactly cheap (yet?), but I definitely wish Debian armel and armhf builds all eventually

Hey, armel has been one of the sore points of maintaining WebKit in Debian. It often fails to build the package because of lack of memory or disk space. I'm told by my colleague Hector Oron that WebKit's utility for armel is quite limited, given it's often used headless rather than providing a
