Ive had the same thought and actually was a bit angry on myself after i spend too long to get a gcc + qemu + gdb working together to debug this. Felt like i could have done something more productive I think a question is, is there someone who wants to maintain alpha support because it seems it needs some support. If someone does, its no work for me and i certainly dont mind if we keep alpha on the list of supported architectures. If not we can just apply this and pretend its still supported until it breaks again. Though such support would not be with teh toolchain from the ubuntu i used. The old fate box seems to work a lot better Or we can just deprecate it and drop on a future bump dont really have an opinion, but i dont plan to put any significant amount of time in alpha support thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB Homeopathy is like voting while filling the ballot out with transparent ink.
