This is definitely the best technical thing to do, and what source packages should implement; did you compile a list of packages/patches somewhere? I patched some packages to test for the toolchain defaults rather than hardcoding them myself (e.g. ffmpeg/debian/confflags has some clever logic to build optional vfp and neon flavors if the port doesn't default to enable vfp or neon), and it's definitely not too hard and nicer for portability (even between armel and armhf IMO). -- Loïc Minier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
