First, thanks for your reply: I hope we can finally make progress on
this issue with help from the port maintainers, as you are saying.
Only a quick comment, however, not of technical nature, a clarification:
actually my remark above was partially *wrong*, in this sense: I
confused submitter of 20218 (HJ himself) with submitter of 19664 (Pawel
Sikora, "pluto"): the latter indeed reported to have tested the entire
set (19664 + 20218) on other arches beyond those three: I see now that
probably he didn't run the entire testsuite. Sorry about the confusion.
Paolo.
