No objection particularly, but I've a RISC PC sitting here unused which
is only v3 AIUI. I've also 2 x NSLU2 - would be happy to build/test for
v3 or to continue limited support. I'm no ARM developer and it's a long
time since I've programmed in anger (though I am a DD) - I'd need LOTS
of support from the more experienced folk around here. Would also be
willing to beta test cross-compilation environments on a fast AMD64 - I
gather you were nobbled at the Expo by a colleague of mine wanting info
:)
