[erlang-bugs] Minor issue: dialyzer on ARM: Compiling some key modules to native code => Illegal instruction (core dumped)

[Mattias Waldau]

Hi Robert,

I am not really sure why it is a good idea to make no_native the default 
for ARM? Is this only for dialyzer?

ARM will become more common, and I must say that the performance of this 
Samsung OctaCore make me believe in ARM on servers, i.e. a typical place 
for Erlang.

Thus, since we have a working native compiler for ARM, why not used it?
