In order to build successfully nacl needs to determine the CPU frequency

non-broken implementations it won't build).
If the build process is trying to discover information that it then discards
then why not just patch it to not do so?
It's not the build process itself doing the determination, it's the code
being built and
tested (as I said the build process tries various implementations until
it finds one that
works),
So sure I could patch the build process to force it to build the generic
implementation
without testing it but if it then doesn't work for many users I won't
really have gained
much.
>Surely you as the DD can determine which architectures aren't "broken"
Not being able to read the clockspeed doesn't seem to be determined by
debian
architecture, it seems to be kernel related. e.g. on my beagleboard XM I
can see the
clocksepeed in /sys/ but on my imx53 I can't. On my amd64 laptop I can't see
the speed in /sys but I can see it in /proc/cpuinfo.
