The definition should be the same on both branches. You must use = TARGET_ARCH=3Darmv6 on all known branches to produce working code. You = might get lucky and get TARGET_ARCH=3Darm and have it work, but that's = most definitely not a supported configuration. > So, what should be used? And where? For RPi, TARGET_ARCH=3Darmv6 everywhere on all branches >=3D 9. RPi = isn't supported 8 and lower. Warner > Thanks for any input, >=20 > Glen >=20
