Please remove x-loader from unstable.

Reasons (RoQA):

- Maintained by the Debian QA Group; the last upload
  (1.5.1+git20110715+fca7cd2-7, October 2024) was a QA upload that had to
  lower the debhelper compat level from 13 to 8 to work around linker
  flags breaking the build.

- Obsolete: x-loader is the first-stage bootloader for TI OMAP3/OMAP4
  boards (BeagleBoard, IGEPv2, Overo, PandaBoard). Upstream is dead (git
  snapshot from 2011-07-15); these boards have been booted by U-Boot SPL
  for over a decade.

- Unused: popcon reports 1 installation of x-loader-omap4-panda and none
  for the other binary packages. There are no reverse dependencies.

- Likely FTBFS: the Debian armhf binaries date from October 2024
  (gcc-14). In Ubuntu, a no-change rebuild of the same source with the
  current toolchain fails on armhf because the package builds for an ARMv7
  target without an FPU, which the hard-float toolchain rejects:

    cc1: error: '-mfloat-abi=hard': selected architecture lacks an FPU
    ...
    (.text+0x6): undefined reference to `raise'

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:

  x-loader | 1.5.1+git20110715+fca7cd2-7 | source
x-loader-omap3-beagle | 1.5.1+git20110715+fca7cd2-7 | armhf
x-loader-omap3-igepv2 | 1.5.1+git20110715+fca7cd2-7 | armhf
x-loader-omap3-overo | 1.5.1+git20110715+fca7cd2-7 | armhf
x-loader-omap4-panda | 1.5.1+git20110715+fca7cd2-7 | armhf

------------------- Reason -------------------
RoQA, FTBFS, unmaintained, replaced by U-Boot SPL
----------------------------------------------

Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag
database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug.
The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite
references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references
it).  Please also remember that the changes have been done on the
master archive and will not propagate to any mirrors until the next
dinstall run at the earliest.

Packages are usually not removed from testing by hand. Testing tracks
unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed
from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency
problems. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is
really needed, please contact them if this should be the case.

We try to close bugs which have been reported against this package
automatically. But please check all old bugs, if they were closed
correctly or should have been re-assigned to another package.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 1150814@bugs.debian.org.
