Bug#229251: libc6.1: request ev67 specific build
Package: libc6.1
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-10
Severity: wishlist
Beginning with versions 2.6.2 and 2.4.25, the kernel will emit
AT_PLATFORM data for ev56, ev6, ev67. This would allow optional
system-specific libraries in /lib/$platform/ as for other targets.
EV67 is most interesting because libc has special memcpy/memset
routines that do prefetching and cache manipulation, as well as
special str* routines that use new bit scanning instructions.
It would be nice, therefore, to have a libc6.1-ev67 package.
