Has anyone tried to compile cpuminer-opt on ARM architecture? I've tried, but it fails miserably...

Optimizations are architecture specific meaning that all optimizations would have to be
rewritten for ARM. That's the nature of specialization. As it stands now cpuminer-opt
already contains 3 or 4 versions of many functions just to suppport the variations within
the x86_64 architecture.

An optimized ARM miner would essentially have to have rewritten all optimizations I imported as well
as the ones I've added over the past 2 years. This would require a very skilled, and highly paid,
ARM developper.

Your best bet for ARM at this time is an unoptimized miner that isn't tied to one specific arcitecture.
