    I guess you mean armel? arm has been discontinued in favor of armel
after lenny release. Last time I did prepare a upload for clisp I was
trying to make it work on armel as well, however I failed to fix a build
failure somwhere in the extensions. I'll try to have a look again once
spare time permits (if noone is faster, of course).

Regards
