A slight modification was required in the end to catch the right pre-processor macros for both Debian and Ubuntu's ARM instruction sets. The test suite passed with the patch (except for the issues reported previously with the prctl test when --with-installed-* is passed to configure). For reference the final version of the patch (and other patches in the Debian package) are viewable online at http://patch-tracker.debian.org/package/blcr/ named 04_arm_v7 in the series. Alan
