As Tim has already pointed out, these work even when building with FAST_BITBLT enhancements enabled. The cool thing is they also work on the BeagleBone Black ARMv7 (but building on the BBB with FAST_BITBLT enabled resulted in a segfault at image startup .. no idea why). And they appear to work on the older ARMv6 RPi too, so I’ll suspend building the v6 versions unless they’re needed.
