That was the reasoning why it's ten years too late (back then the same problem existed with x86_64 - the asm needed to be ported). --/e2eDi0V/xtL+Mc8 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJRZRPnAAoJEJwwOFaNFkYciiEH/1dwykWyu5voDG9ZfZtBUOiN TQNX48bGVYwv6/QQ/xhDst34iVNYiZw4cFCaiWgnhs9VtB3JtdUg67ILNZtgTtbK Bo5rqvDi/kgvaIm1VmiE7iQw4FQbfzhuSMBJJQQuKQEW+EKNEj4VkvwZDn4H5jus pit6uFeYUp59BBvxWrcQ8EsJuw/Bq/1Ck74uY4wnaxZp57ll8ASLA4iEuvqfBbOr lmiypWYoBsAAbh+iVdfrHR3ak7r2M34eyZvfwrj4S9yCO2Y69RLafYzn0WTAZUbO 6c8NfalY8KhllhfUrso8NOWrSLAdEsq4pdZqiHjsaJOGleNfbNzmZs7168yPk+A= =fLrA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --/e2eDi0V/xtL+Mc8--
