Bug referred to is HERE. <https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10857> This pretty well is a show stopper for doing anything with a DB on the ARM, since many of the higher level SQL classes refer to this whether it's actually going to be used or not. (My own DB could care less about 'Decimal')
Since the ARM (BeagleBone in my case) is so much less mainstream than x86, I don't expect this to get immediate attention from the regular mono developers. So I'm wondering a couple of things: Is anyone on this list familiar with both this part of the mono code (SqlDataTypes), and working with ARM? Has anyone else encountered this particular bug and consider is it important to you? Any clues as to what the issue might be? (I thought endianess, but x86 and ARM are both little endian..?) If I try to correct this myself, is there any sort of test frame already available that I might use to try to test / exercise this as an individual class (SqlDecimal.cs) rather than rebuilding all of mono? (Or some subset of mono, at least.) I have no way to use anything but a terminal window on my BeagleBone, so will may want to set up an ARM virtual machine for initial tests. Anyone done this and have suggestions?
