Here the biggest issues are libffi and libtasn1 (iirc). For RedSleeve 7.1 I did not build many of the x86_64 only stuff. Only corosync and golang. All the rest is not really needed or rightfully x86_64 only. For reference this is the overview of the issues encountered when building for armv5tel: http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.redsleeve.org/pub/el7/7.1/RS7.1_issuelog.html If relevant, the patches I made should also be there, but the syncing has not completed yet. (the older patches for Redsleeve 7.0 are here: http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.redsleeve.org/pub/el7/alpha/patches/ and here: http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.redsleeve.org/pub/el7/alpha-updates/patches/ ) Jacco
