Oh, I could wait. :) There are still issues I could play with:
- gcc4 that generates code with unaligned access exceptions 
(http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24178)
    I think I've found how to trick it. :)
- some patches to glibc from debian that makes gmp package to pass the tests
- there are still rare unaligned exceptions in kernel mode (triggered by 
ccsd daemon)
- java interpreter (gij) generate UAE in some rare cases

so I have plenty "boring" issues to work on. :)

Thank you very much,
Sergey.

PS: I am uploading latest source packages to SRPMS directory
PS PS: I think we would have to keep kernel version as 
2.6.12-1.1447_FC4axp, otherwise we will need to rebuild some
clustering kernel modules
