Dear Maintainer,
Please could you add the attached definition for CloudABI, a new POSIX-like
runtime (currently) for amd64/x86_64 and arm64/aarch64.
I'm requesting this as a step in getting a CloudABI toolchain packaged on
Debian. I'm not seeking to introduce a new Debian port or multiarch.
I've posted [1] with some background info and am happy to answer queries,
comments etc. there; or whereever you'd prefer.
