I'm working on getting it in upstream first - what was decided in the
past as the proper path to grow new architectures in FreeBSD.  Otherwise
we can go down the same path we did in the past where our toolchain
diverged very far from the GNU sources and we were left on own
maintaining them.  Note that from what I've seen none of the anxious ARM
kernel developers have spent one once of time on this issue.

I'd like to ask when we'll get ARM resources in the FreeBSD.org cluster
so committers can have access to ARM - I don't.  So it is hard to test
anything.  Until a month ago no one would agree on a reference platform
so toolchain work could be tested vs.  spending all my time trying to get
something working that no one else had.  I am still waiting to get the
ARM board I purchased in my hands and working.

Alan I'm curious, for you what is the rush?
