Sigh,
fine, whatever. Nothing personal Jonathan, it just feels extremely frustrating
to always have a point raised when we're about to finally make a decision -
and yes, it's a very valid point that you raised.
So, yes, ok, finally, let's agree -for the last time I hope- on the
underscore-less
triplet:
arm-linux-gnueabihf
So, can we please, please, close this bug and get on with other issues?
Regards
Konstantinos
