sounds like cool stuff; hopefully we'll keep your patching efforts required to 
a minimum. :)

having an arm dashboard would be terrific so those of us w/out arm systems 
around that we build on regularly can keep an eye on it.

for the interest of others, the most common reason this problem poked its head 
up in plasma was when doing something like this:

qreal value = 1;
.. some code ..
value = qMax(0.0, value);

this works just fine on archs like intel where qreal == double, but fails to 
build on arm. solution is simple:

value = qMax(qreal(0.0), value);

various other similar situations, but all of the same pattern :)
