Sometimes, I expect that when people open pull-requests that they actually test what they submit and I don’t have to do any work.

Today I failed at that. Yeay!

Arm64/aarch64 is kind of a new thing in crosstool-NG, and isn’t well supported.

I took the pull-request for the sample without looking at the specs for the new raspberry pi 3. I had no clue it was 64-bit.

Looks like I will have to take some time and get this going.
