Well,

I found a netwinder site at netwinder.org, and they have RPMs for 6.5.1,
so my guess is that they believe it works on Redhat/Strongarm...

Is the strongarm the same as arm32? That's what we list already for
netbsd. Or is strongarm a distinct architecture which should be listed
separately?

armv41 is the architecture listed for the RPM's mentioned. The patchset
is attached.

I'm going to look at integrating this into the 6.5.3 RPM's -- but this
really should be in the main tarball, IMO. There's no big patches made
-- the whole set is only 2K.

I've added Mark Knox to the cc: list, as he put together this RPM set
from the RawHide 6.5.1-0.8 rpm. Mark, I'll be releasing 6.5.3 RPM's as
soon as 6.5.3 is official, and I'd like to get arm supported by it.
Just wanted to add you to the loop.
