I did, although I did not seem to need it anymore in -current/HEAD. Like I said above, by defining WITHOUT_ARM_EABI=yes I could get an AVILA kernel that boots with src from head at around mid December. I did most of my testing there because I thought that if I could get that to work, one could figure out what is missing in 10. I just tried 10 again just now because of all the arm merges that happened. I got distracted by other work a bit, but would really like to have AVILA and CAMBRIA working. I must still test where after mid December it broke. I know it was broken in Feb.
