I thought there were issues concerning src for (at least armv6) that armv6 was 'stale'? I'm sure I've seen it mentioned if not on this list, then on others. Part or the main reason for it being dropped. In case your "ranting" comment is addressed to me: I can't C/C++ , so if I want these devices to remain on a BSD os then straightforwardly I need one that currently supports the hardware. So, NetBSD. That's not a rant. It's an acknowledgement of the way things are. Nobody is obliged to make things work on my hardware. I just have to go with an OS that supports it. My previous response to the OP was to make them aware of alternatives, that's all.
