Mattias, Joost: many thanks. I might be safest sticking with 0.9.24 + 
2.2.0 for the moment since the Windows development machine is NT and 
I've previously seen problems.

I'll have another shot at building for ARM and raise any issues in a 
separate thread.

Later I'll try moving to something newer than 2.2.0 on all platforms and 
then 0.9.25 or later. One of the things I'm still trying to find time to 
look at is problems when a project is moved between x86 and SPARC which 
might be related to endianness.
