However, this is just a prototype patch used to verify the cross-compile functionality of the build system and is not directly intended for merge. A proper implementation should, I think, come from those more familiar with arm architecture than I am. [Hence the CC of Jerin and Hemant on the patch]. Because of that I didn't go back to edit the license tag of the patch i.e. I was a bit lazy. :-) /Bruce
