I was talking relative to the original issue of emulation, not cross compiling
64 bit kernels on 32 bit OSs, or the merit of 32 vs 64 bit on ARM.  I know this
is an area of particular interest to you, but I didn't see it as relevant to
the original discussion (which involved emulation of totally foreign
instruction sets - x86 on ARM and vice versa in software).

 MK> Interesting but I still am not hearing what I want/need to hear.

I didn't make any claims to providing that, different problem.  Apples and
oranges.

I'm still yet to be convinved why 64 bit is sooooooooo important.
