mistserver on archlinux arm

Dove a little bit deeper into the number '2208988800', and what it represents, and it's about the epoch on a 32 bit system. This machine is a RaspberryPi 2, and it honers the 32bit epoch fail after 2147483647 which will be 'Tue Jan 19 04:14:07 CET 2038' (local Netherlands). 2147483648 will fail.The next patch builds without problems, and is better than the former.

Thanks! We're actually working on a long overdue change to the source that will make it fully compatible with other processor types, and will make sure to pick this up during that!

By the way, for those willing to try a binary ARMHF build I have put mine on:
https://dl.bintray.com/gdm85/ubuntu14-bin/

(latest master) It was not possible to build with make -j because of memory limitations of my device, but in the end it finished successfully (albeit the warnings). Now I am going to give this a try :)

ARMv7 and ARMv8-64 builds are now officially supported (and available on the website).
Should there still be any problems with compiling on ARM, feel free to re-open this issue.
