Re: [9fans] arm compiler info

[Bruce Ellis <brucee@chunder.com>]

it isn't hard to get ELF output, both vl and el have
a flag for it so changing 5l is a snarf/paste or too.
i'm not aware of the 922 arch but i think getting 5c/5l
to accomodate it is not too hard.  charles will have
something to say i'm sure.
