Bug#791985: Please support ARM64 (ucontext_t)

[Michael Prokop]

Hi Martin :)

Cc-ing Guy, upstream of libguytools + guymager

* Martin Michlmayr [Thu Jul 09, 2015 at 03:32:01PM -0400]:
> Package: libguytools2
> Version: 2.0.3-1

>       #elif (defined (__ppc__)) || (defined (__powerpc__))
>          pIP = (void*) pUContext->uc_mcontext.regs->nip;
>       #endif

The only consumer of libguytools is guymager, which itself is
"Architecture: amd64 i386 powerpc" only (due to some architecture
specific optimizations for performance reasons AFAIK), so I'm not
sure what Guy as upstream thinks of that. Opinions? :)
