If the code must always be compiled for a particular flavor of ARM processor, regardless of the host architecture of the machine which will be controlling the Lego, then it should be possible to build it is arch any, which would not get autobuilt anyways. Then, as long as the uploader (maintainer or NMU) buils on ARM, everything should be OK. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sánchez http://people.connexer.com/~roberto http://www.connexer.com
