    Hi Guillem,

    Checking now again, I realize Wookey mentioned enabling this for the 3
    arm arches (those would be arm64, armhf and armel), so the patch I
    provided would match that. But I was wondering now what about armeb and
    arm64ilp32? I mean, I assume those should be excluded for now as they
    did not get any testing, and they might not even be used/lively(?),

    Correct, there has been no testing done on armeb/arm64ilp32 as far as
    I'm aware. I'd suggest enabling the feature only on armhf/armel for the
    time being.

    Are either of those ports (armeb/arm64ilp32) actually useful / alive
    at this point?

    Another architecture you might consider adding is whatever is used in
    the banana-pi-m5 boards, its an improvement on the rpi4b, without the
    radio, and with all 4 usb ports running at usb3 speeds. With a 4 core
    arm64 running at 2GHz, so its a bit faster than the rpi4. With spi
    support, it would make a great replacement for the rpi4b. At under $90
    USD. Currently running ubuntu-jammy based distro in arm64 flavor, called armbian. And running several 3d printers here. Good stable boards.

    Cheers, Gene Heskett.

    Gene, please stay out of this. You have no idea what I'm talking about
    here.
