Subject: cmd/dist: enable GOARM>5 on NetBSD/ARM.
X-Git-Tag: go1.3beta1~450
X-Git-Url: http://www.git.cypherpunks.su/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=56e261ef2f34e8ee3909e87cf4212eac2b399f61;p=gostls13.git

cmd/dist: enable GOARM>5 on NetBSD/ARM.
Tested GOARM=6 on Raspberry Pi, and I found only a few tests that
use sub-normal numbers fails. I have a patch to NetBSD kernel pending
that fixes this issue (NetBSD kernel doesn't allow us to disable the
Flush-to-Zero feature).
