The issues underlying both of these bugs are the same. There needs to be a working cross compilation system for Debian. Whether that happens via cross toolchains, or some other method, or both is one of issues which has to be worked out by the involved groups. > I also note that concern was brought for raising this issue to the > ctte too quickly.

Unfortunately, the CTTE takes a very long time to figure things out, and it's not helped when one of the parties does not communicate. > That said, forcemerge and close are quite similar in their effect, so > no further action seems necessary.

So your opinion is that this issue should be handled outside of the CTTE? -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com Science is a way of trying not to fool yourself.
