Re: No PHP4 on arm keeps packages out of testing.

Perhaps I'm reading the buildd status page wrong?  I would assume that 
the fact php4 is listed on 
<http://buildd.debian.org/stats/?arch=arm&state=Building> as 

web/php4_4:4.1.1-2: Building by buildd [optional:uncompiled]
  Previous state was Needs-Build until 2002 Feb 15 13:22:13

means that the package has been in the process of building (failing to 
build) for 11 days.  Is this rather a case of stale information on the 
buildd pages?

Ok.  In that case, and based on the indication that php4 should be built 
w/ gcc 3.0 on arm, I'll file a bug and NMU appropriately.
