I don't think there'll be any problem with
<http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/arm26/>, do you? Just give me a chance to
get around to setting it up. FWIW, my plans currently go:
1: Upload new snapshot (with new Ether3 driver).
2: Check out new source tree directly from cvs.netbsd.org.
3: Build new compiler with new structure-padding rules.
4: Rebuild the world with the new compiler in the new tree.
5: Check nothing important breaks in consequence.
6: Fix bizarre subr_autoconf.c bug and any other out-of-area changes.
7: Commit new code to cvs.netbsd.org.
8: Update documentation, including port Web page etc.
9: Release new binary snapshot.
My current estimate is that this will take three weeks (allowing for my
being busy with other things the weekend after next).
I'll post a proper announcement here about the structure alignment/padding
business once I'm certain what I'm doing.
