Hello,

I've several questions about the --with-alpha and --with-armeb
build-time flags.

1) are --with-alpha and --with-armeb intended to be enabled only on
these architectures on could they also be enabled on any other one? If
I understand correctly it's only adding arch detection and syscall
tables to ausyscall. Why are these syscall table conditional?

2) Is --with-armeb meant for ARMEB (aka ARM big-endian) or is it meant
for ARM with embedded ABI? The help message of the configure says the
later but it seems to be badly named.

If somebody could enlighten me,

Kind regards

Laurent Bigonville
