In which form should we raise concerns? Is it about stepping up as a
maintainers, or just
about telling them that platforms are used? My main concern with
limiting ARMv4 platforms
to older compilers would be that sooner or later we won't be able to
use newer kernels,
as the mainline will stop supporting older compilers.
