So an update on tyhe archive rebuild front. Our archive rebuild
infrastructure is currently undergoing maintenance (moving to a
different AWS account, and presumably with new IAM roles and such), so
it might not be available immediately for an archive rebuild.
So we have again, the two choices, with Helmut’s plan having
the advantage of not requiring the archive rebuild, and the expense of
essentially bundling the libfl-dev back into flex (where it had lived
for the longest time until we split it), or having cross compilation
broken while we weigh our options.
I think I might brush off that old patch this weekend, and apply
it to flex, and upload.
