[fedora-arm] arm port status

[Lennert Buytenhek]

Hi all,

Feedback on the gcc ARM patches I submitted (bug 246800) seemed mostly
positive, apart from the patch that disables building objc/java on ARM
(which is necessary since upstream gcc doesn't support those on EABI
ARM yet.)  Jakub didn't agree with it on the basis that many things in
Fedora depend on it.  Since this is only a minor spec file change, I'll
probably just keep carrying this separately until the necessary bits
get implemented upstream.

As to glibc (bug 246801): Jakub suggested that, considering that the
ARM support for glibc support lives in a separate upstream 'ports'
sub-repository, to build ARM glibc from a separate source package.
I'll look into getting a glibc-ports source package into Fedora.

Almost all rpm diffs have been merged at this point as well.  The
only unfixed issue was how to handle -gnueabi in our target triple,
but I've submitted a patch for that that will hopefully suffice.

Most of the other diffs I've submitted (which mostly only add %{arm}
to ExclusiveArch:) are still sitting in bugzilla untouched.  Maybe
I'll just have to start offering people $10 per reviewed patch or
something like that..
