[Cerowrt-devel] Why we are discussing ARM [was: Cross-compiling to armhf]

Just to make sure the audience is not confused: the Raspberry Pi 1 cannot
run Debian armhf, which requires ARMv7.  It can run either Debian armel,
which doesn't use floating point, or Raspbian, which is Debian recompiled
for ARMv6 with hardware floating point.

Agreed.  Who's going to save us?
