[bug#27344] [PATCH 0/12] Add computational software and circuit simulators

Hi,

So I managed to push ASCO, but there’s still some left.

Theodoros Foradis <address@hidden> skribis:

OK.

Yes, that’s the right way to do it.

Then again, don’t spend too much time on cross-compilation support,
unless there’s evidence that the whole stack can actually be
cross-compiled.

Could we resume this?
