The current status of this:

- the Path workbench has a test which checks string equality on generated vs 
expected G-code for an operation. On the i386 arch only, the produced G-code is 
not what is expected, although it is consistent. In a G-code viewer, what is 
produced is visually identical, just with an increased number of arcs of 
shorter length. I've patched this test with a special-case check to use a 
different "expected" string id the arch is i386, and this works, even if not 
elegant; the further yak-shaving needed has been discussed with upstream.

- on armel, it seems FEM workbench tests are failing, but it isn't enough to 
e.g. disable that workbench, because then the failures just pop up elsewhere. 
I've repeated this "disable test, different test segfaults elsewhere" pattern 
about 5 times. It seems like, for some reason, the armel builds are no longer 
viable. It isn't ideal, but FreeCAD is probably not getting much use on the 
arch, so it may be that it ought to be removed from the architecture.

I would appreciate some feedback on these 2 items. I could do an upload with a 
patch for the Path test and request armel removal if nobody has any better 
suggestions or reservations about this approach.

Thanks,
Kurt
