> @nullr0ute `armv5tl` was used in Mageia, and I upstreamed those changes from Mageia as the rpm comaintainer to reduce the patch load and make our rpms workable on other distros (having "special" architectures is not great...). We used it as the baseline "synthetic" architecture to support many classes of older ARM hardware (RPi 1, old Android devices, weird SBCs, IPMI SoCs, etc.).

That's really strange given the rest of the Linux ecosystem used 5tel as there were literally no chips ever that didn't have the "enhanced DSP" option. Pity all this useful information wasn't provided in the commit message, it helps understand reasons for it.

Why wasn't there attribution/sign-off by? Could someone provide more details, I want to understand the details of how this would be used. There's users of Debian packages in Fedora and in all the time we've supported aarch64 this was never requested because there's other means of dealing with this.
