===[0.2] Install an armv7 glibc and re-run the benchmark using dhrystone===
Since optimizing the benchmark program using both architectures revealed the same results, optimizing the system binaries and re-running the benchmark can should be able to provide a more concrete contrast between the 2 technologiesarchitectures.
The goal of this release is to find out if upgrading the armv5tel glibc would affect the performance of a C library dependent program such as dhrystone. By re-installing glibc using armv7 optimizations and re-running an armv7 optimized dhrystone; a better benchmark result is expected (Higher DMIPS). The result would be beneficial for Fedora-ARM, for it will help the community decide if armv5tel codes should continually be supported.
