Re: 3.3.12 / help needed

[Camm Maguire <camm@enhanced.com>]

Hi Clint!  OK, I'm trying runs on some of the Debian machines:

21064
ia64
ultrasparc II
hppa
powerpc
arm
(maybe even m68k!)

Cannot seem to get ahold of any mips or mips-el machines, even though
Debian will ship on them at next release.

Quite a few machine detection issues thus far.

Take care,
