I don’t think there is anything armhf-special to do; first it needs to
be supported on regular armel. Karel has been working on that
previously.

I’m not sure what exactly needs to be done, but AFAIK it requires work
on the linker. If Konstantinos happens to know stuff about that, maybe
you and Karel can cooperate?

Greetings,
Joachim
