Oops!  I did that yesterday (port-arm32/9925).  Mark fixed it.

The inf.c fix in lib/7829 was that it contained a completely bogus value 
(the two words were the wrong way around.  But it is still a char array, 
so it needs an alignment attribute as well (it's just that the alignment 
has never been a problem there for some reason).
