The problem is because of a missing feature called "FFI CLOSURES" in upstream GCC (specifically in the libffi library). As soon as closure support is added to libffi for ARM, I'll enable the ARM build. This was exactly the case with mips and mipsel earlier. Recently, closure support was added to libffi for mips and mipsel and I enabled those arches in debian/control. Ganesan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
