Is this something that should go into the current > -rc release, or wait for the next merge window? Hrm, this kind of things usually good for the next merge window because it is only for the different endianess cross-build case. But the next release will be LTS (6 years life cycle), so it is possible someone hits this issue before EOL and (I guess) finally they need this series. So if possible, could you push this in -rc release? I think this doesn't change so much. Thank you, -- Masami Hiramatsu
