Dear wb-team, first of all a short pre-story. I am running Debian Wheezy on Raspberry Pi (soft float, armel). I realized, that there are no wvdial available. It is a little frustrating, because this tool is one of the most convenient for setting up an internet connection from command line through USB-modem (for me Raspberry works like a little server, so no GUI, no nm-applet). Wvdial cannot be built for armel, because wvstreams is not available for this platform (#521473) due to some problems in the past. So I decided to build packages of wvstreams and wvdial locally. After that wvdial was installed from those debs and runs just fine! So, I would like to ask wb-team to enable wvstreams for armel as, it seems, the problem with getcontext() is not relevant any more. I think many raspberry-users will be happy to get wvdial from official debian-repositories.
