* What's new
+- It is now possible to cross-compile systemtap scripts for foreign
+ architectures, using the new '-a ARCH' and '-B OPT=VALUE' flags.
+ For example, put arm-linux-gcc etc. into your $PATH, and point
+ systemtap at the target kernel build tree with:
+ stap -a arm -B CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- -r /build/tree [...]
+ The -B option is passed to kbuild make. -r identifies the already
+ configured/built kernel tree and -a its architecture (kbuild ARCH=...).
+ Systemtap will infer -p4.

- Cross compilation using the systemtap client and server
- stap-start-server now accepts the -r, -R, -I, -B and -a options in

- The systemtap notion of "architecture" now matches the kernel's, rather
than that of "uname -m". This means that 32-bit i386 family are all
known as "i386" rather than "i386" or "i686"; "ppc64" as "powerpc";
