Good thinking. I choose the "/HowTo/DeterminingCPUFeatures" title. > b.

That part of the thread hasn't really come to a conclusion on the approach. If its something using auxiliary vectors, then I think the answer is same page. If not, then something more general would probably be needed. -andy _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
