Yes, that looks OK.

Well, technically no and GCC 4 doesn't use it anyway. It's really meant
for GCC 8 and newer, which I didn't really envision being used on RISC
OS 4 due to a 32 bit requirement.
However, having said that !SharedLibs.SOMRun1st loads it, so it does
need to be present.

If I understand you correctly, you mean that Packman itself relies on
SharedUnixLibrary to run. If Packman is an ELF binary, then SOMRun1st
will be called and attempt to load ARMEABISupport, so yes it will have
to be preloaded. If Packman is AIF, then no you should be OK.

I've been running Iris with the updated select patch for a week or two
now and I don't see any ill effects, so I'll commit the change tomorrow.
