_Please_ don't do this!  BBBB is a mess, and what I'd like is for someone to
sort things out to build RISC OS executables linked against libsa so we can 
use the same code as the rest of the world.  That _would_ be worth sharing  
between the ports.

FWIW, I've been doing a bit of work on the ea driver for arm26.  It does at 
least receive packets for me now, but the 8005 seems to get swamped if my   
fxp card sends frames too fast.  Has anyone else observed this?  Anyway,
I'll append the mbuf-alignment patch to the relevant PRs when I get a
moment.
