Imminent was perhaps the wrong word, but nonetheless, I don't see much
value in trying to isolate a bug in g++-4.1 when 4.2 should be live in
the near future, especially when, as you say

which is very much what I was thinking myself.

0.36 should be ready in a few days; upstream proceeds with boost
removal, but it won't happen for that release.  More likely 0.37.  My
inclination is to leave Architecture: alone for the 0.36 release --
perhaps it will miraculously start working on arm, after all.
