It does, though it's specific to arm uclibc, as it works fine on
amd64/x86 uclibc. And unfortunately, it seems like this type of thing
is what people are proposing we move towards. Instead of working but
old, not having access to the software at all. I know it's not the
norm, nor is it typical, but the chance of this happening does exist,
and I can't see how anyone would say, well, that's just the chance that
people should take, unless they've never been bitten by a bug like this.

There may have been, I'm not sure that's really the right step either
though.
