Hi there
(I'm not sure whether hard-float support should be filed at wishlist or
minor priority; Konstantinos, please correct me here! Also, what's the
usertag for armhf bugs?)
libffi doesn't support the ARM EABI hard-float calling conventions;
this was recently developed by Chung-Lin Tang (Linaro) and sent
upstream http://sourceware.org/ml/libffi-discuss/2010/msg00153.html but
is still pending upstream inclusion.
Note that this patch is only useful if the __ARM_PCS_VFP define is set
which was included in upstream GCC at
http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs?view=revision&revision=162637 and is also
present in recent Linaro GCC releases.
The Debian armhf port uses Linaro GCC 4.4, so it would benefit from
this patch as that would fix libffi with hard-float ABI.
Would you mind including this patch in the libffi package until it
makes it upstream?
Thanks,
