That's not true. What's true is that you didn't seem to _understand_
my solution, so I tried to push the understanding of it.

There are always other solutions. I seriously doubt that Uwe's is a
maintainable one. That said, even a one-time "reduce the size of that
stinking pile of sh*t" is probably better than nothing.

I hope you at least do agree that the current situation is a steaming
pile of sh*t. And yes, I _will_ remove the crap, both from POWER and
ARM, unless I see some serious tries at fixing it.
