Ok, my main query I guess was "can someone who isn't actually a committer decide to expire ports."? You've answered that, so I'll go ahead with a PR. I forgot to mention, these ports use a binutils version that hasn't been updated for a LONG time, and there have been no calls or PR's from anyone regarding this. Also, I did look at bringing back the other ports, and they are a bit... involved. They also are tied quite deeply to gcc4.6, and as the purpose was basically to be able to compile binaries for android, and these days the androids I deal with are more than capable of running clang natively, I just use those. To scratch the itch, any future work on this from me would involve using the current clang, rather than an old patched gcc. Cheers! Jamie
