But no one has complained.
They are only built on i386 and x86_64 hosts, look at the configure script. We should continue providing all the ROM binaries, even the x86 ones. We can't require that every installation has a (cross-)compiler for x86, the same way that we don't require a sparc or powerpc cross compiler for x86 installations. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net
