[Openmcl-devel] 1.8 prerelease

[Ron Garret]

Out of curiosity...

"An ARMv7 processor is required. This unfortunately rules out several interesting small ARM-based systems. One such system is the Raspberry Pi, which uses an ARMv6 architecture chip (namely a ARM1176JZFS core), and will therefore not run CCL."

What features of the ARMv7 is CCL relying on?  How hard would it be to remove these dependencies?
