I've been in contact with a guy who was making a port. For that moment lock
manager on ARM did not work correctly - it was randomly failing (races ???).
I have never received any message stating that this was fixed. As long as
people need single-user access, firebird on arm works for them. May be it's
even OK for cellular phones (as far as I know, ARM9 is used in them). But I'm
not sure, should we add such ports to main tree or not.

If someone can confirm firebird working on ARM correctly, I have no problems
adding that port.

I think we should better think about changing the whole idea of
CLASS_FREEBSD_AMD64 naming schema. We must have separate entry for operating
system and separate - for HW architecture. This will greatly decrease number
of required manually supported classes. This may be done in ODS12.
