Just a side-note: mozilla still doesn't work properly, regxpcom and regchrome segfault (see my 10/28 post for latest fix attempt details). And there's a libc6/binutils/dpkg-shlibdeps bug preventing illuminator from building (reported here 11/19, about to file a bug). Hmm -- which gets me thinking, should there be a clearinghouse of known ARM-specific bugs? (Is there one already?) Then again, this might be better done with BTS indexing, or tagging, or something like that. Otherwise, your wish-list looks good, can't think of anything else. Zeen, -- -Adam P.
