Hi Neil,
nice to know that it works. I looking at the patch i wonder how to commit it - 
because i want to keep armel build for GTA02. Maybe we could have add split 
your patched qtmoko-chroot.sh to qtmoko-chroot-armhf.sh and we could commit 
rest of the patch as is (qmake.conf and others). So that GTA04 will be by 
default armhf - i guess no one is now probably interested in GTA04/armel build 
now...?

Does it sound ok?

Regards

Radek
