I've added an arm build to the autobuilds in [[install/Linux_standalone]].
It's somewhat experimental:
I'm curious to see how this works out. I tried to make it as self-contained
as possible. It should work even on systems that do not use glibc, as long
as the kernel is new enough for the glibc included in it, and supports the
arm EABI.
* There are several arm architectures. This build is done on Debian armel,
which uses EABI. It will not work on older arm systems whose kernels
do not support EABI. (It's also little endian.)
* It relies on the system having a compatable version of glibc installed.
This could be improved by finding a way to build a static binary
(but glibc does not make that easy), or trick the linker into linking
against a glibc shipped in the bundle. The problem with the latter
is that glibc loads some support libraries at runtime.
I'll be interested to hear if this is useful. If it seems sufficiently
useful, I might try to add the webapp to the build, which would be somewhat
complicated, but doable (since I'm building using qemu, it can run a build
on amd64 first to get the TH splices).
