Hi -

At some point we will be working with s3c6410, which is ARMv5 capable as
well as existing ARMv4 capable.

How is the distro side planning to come at that... are we just going to
treat it as ARMv4 so we can share packages on all the platforms, or is
there enough advantage in ARMv5 that we will basically build packages twice?

What's the situation then for people who have an ARMv5 based distro on
their device for installing ARMv4 packages (which they can run) too?
