I really think you need to check powerpc, itanium, amr4, younameit branch
If your "ported upstream patches" are built in a way they would break ARM build, you evidently messed it up to implement them
AFAIK upstream/main is meant to compile on all platforms, with all valid options - at very least there _never_ can be a patch upstream that when "backported" to our local branch would make that branch fail to compile for ARM. Either it been broken before and we better fix it for all upstream stuff, or your backport is flawed.

While I know you love to argue just for the sake of arguing, I will miss the party this time. You are involved enough in CSSU stuff (one way or another) to know that thumb-testing branch of source code on gitorious was created exactly for the purpose of having the source code that MIGHT not be compatibe with Maemo5 default compiler. Keeping backward compatibility to Maemo5 SDK (as distributed by Nokia) has never been a goal of that branch.

And in addition - will you point to at least one example of me not trying to keep backward compatibility, as much as humanly possible, no matter which project. Once you've questioned my expertise and experience and I am ok with that, it is your right, but throwing some random toughts on the principles of Linux development in general, while refusing to make yourself aware of the facts smells to me like trolling.
