I build regularly on my arm box (xscale v5l) on debian and run a few tests.
There should be nothing major that would prevent running mono apps,
though of course bugs may and do exist as in any other software.
To debug what is the issue I'd need ssh access to one of the affected
boxes (both elara and europa were mentioned, but they are not accessible
to normal debian developers like me). Can anyone here provide the access?
Maybe we should also stop the buildd on the machine for a few hours when
I debug it to not make it an impossible task. Of course, the more memory
the box has, the better.
Thanks.
