Supporting only ARMv5 (including Thumb mode) would be just as useful as current x86 and x86_64 support, where the reports of unsupported opcodes still dribble in, even 7 years after workable valgrind. ARMv5 and ARMv4 cover the vast majority of installed chips today. The Microsoft operating system products (WinCE, Windows Mobile) for mobile devices that use ARM, compile for ARMv4. The NSLU2 (200MHz CPU, 32MB RAM, 64MB flash ROM, 2xUSB2.0, 10/100 ethernet; $100; http://www.nslu2-linux.org/ ) and similar consumer devices use ARMv5 (ARMv5TE on mine.) -- John Reiser, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
