It seems to me that a real issue here is, would a successful php4 build on arm even be useful? Given how long arm autobuilders take to build such things, I have to wonder whether there are arm machines out there that are powerful enough to make use of the software in question. If not, perhaps arch: !arm is the solution. BTW, question for the arm people: the last time a build was actually attempted for php4, it failed due to a toolchain error. Are there known issues on arm with the -O2 that php4 is using, or is there simply no easy fix for this? Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
