[rabbitmq-discuss] does anybody depend on Erlang/OTP R11?

We are currently using RabbitMQ on an ARM-based embedded platform.  The 
current OpenEmbedded cross-builing environment that we are using is 
limited to R11B-1.  I attempted to build a later release of OTP but 
encountered a number of issues which I did not have time to tackle.
