I don't recall any particular ARM problems, so I'm curious too. I'm
presently pulling git+ssh://master.kernel.org/home/rmk/linux-2.6-arm.git,
which is coming up empty.

OTOH, I doubt if anyone runtime tests -mm on arm.

OTOH^2, people do cross-compile.

OTOH^3, my attempts to build an arm cross-compiler haven't been very
successful. I do have a .config which compiles, but allmodconfig used to
die due to the compiler not understanding weird `-m' options. <tries it>.
OK, that got fixed, so without CONFIG_AUDIT, arm allmodconfig compiles. Am
happy.
