Likewise! I hope Avaneya is going well :)

Cool. Some thoughts:

Hmm, compile-time choice of CPU instructions doesn't sound like a good
idea, because if I build on an old crappy build machine or a base-level 
qemu virtual machine then I won't be getting SSE4 when I run on my fast
powerful desktop machine. Please ask upstream to switch to runtime
choice based on the available instructions on the user's CPU.

Please talk to upstream about the test suite stuff too.

The upstream website says that it uses the SoftFloat library for the
software floating-point implementation. Since this is a modified
embedded code copy too, please document this in the security team's
embedded code copies file and talk to the upstreams about it. Likewise
for the old libc code and for Random.cpp.

Great work convincing them!
