Hi Wayne,
I tested libcontext on x86, x86_64, ARM and ARM64. Maybe someone changed
some compiler flags for ARM targets so that it doesn't build anymore - I
have no idea for the moment.
The bug report is mostly (as the title suggests) about supporting
PowerPC and MIPS. I don't think we have any developer who has a MIPS/PPC
machine. Supporting exotic or prehistoric platforms is IMHO very outside
of our business of making EDA software.
