This does bring up an interesting point- right now the flag difference is simply '-mfloat-abi=hard'. Is this the right flag for all armv7 concerns? > Is this going into the compiler? ie you compile for arm and you get > the resulting fat binaries? That's pretty much the idea. It's just to get armv7 built without having to tackle circulator dependency chains during bootstrap. > If I have to run a script that changes the objects in the binaries, it > screws up checksums and can cause all sorts of issues. It would definitely alter checksums.
