There’s not enough in place anyway (also, people) to do anything
for FOSDEM – while I’ll be there, I lack hardware, and still don’t
know *how* I’ll travel (still trying to get my employer to sponsor)
so I can’t take anything anyway, and Wouter’ll be busy organising.
The Atari guys from close here can’t come, plus money is tight…
finally, we should have planned this in advance.

It’s not about that. ARAnyM by default accesses the disc image
files using 16-bit reads of the _host_ platform, then passes
those 16-bit integers to the _guest_, which means that running
ARAnyM on a little endian platform will byteswap every single
word of the image.

I’ve had ideas to work on that along with Emile, atari-bootstrap
and mintlib once the MiNT patches are in unstable, which they now
are. But I don’t know yet how well the cross compile part will
work out… (and there’s the usual “humans don’t scale” issue).

That’ll still need a cross toolchain (which is usually not uploaded
to Debian itself) or a native m68k-linux toolchain (which resides on
Debian-Ports and thus cannot be used for the main archive… politics).
So that cannot help over using a crosscompiler to m68k-mint, which
we can easily build “the Debian way” (in fact, I publish them, for
wheezy/amd64, in a Secure APT repository of my own).
