Do that as you like, the server I am hosting the files got a
free-traffic limit of 100gbyte/month.

I will update the binaries to stay on the newest version, but I won't
compile new binaries from the Hotfixes as long as it's not a problem on
a certain arch listed above.

I talked yesterday to the devs of OpenWRT, they suggested me to remove
-mtune= from the CFLAGS, since there are too many different CPU
revisions/command-sets. Due to that, the binary is 6kbyte bigger than
tuned to a single MIPS CPU revision.

Additionally I am currently unable to build AVR32 and ARMEB due to
buildroot compile errors.


I repeated the test I ran on the TL-WR1034ND on the old WRT54GS running
bcrm-2.4.

wrt54gs running bcrm-2.4 MIPSEL: real    1m24.800s
TL-WR1034ND running ar71xx MIPS: real    2m40.678s

both ran own recursion.


Cheers,
