I've spent a fair bit of time wandering through your C libraries before, very useful stuff. It's been a while but your memory leak checker was pretty cool.

Someone has to have built some kind of automated binhost thing like this _somewhere_. I would love it if you could also do crossdev for Arm with it as well.
