Something to be aware of. With the recent release of RISC OS running on the
RaspBerry Pi 3 anything linked with the Unixlib library crashes on start
up. This is due to the SWP/B instructions no longer existing in ARMv8. They
are used in a few places in Unixlib.
I believe a fix is being worked on but I'm not sure how long it will take.
