Nice to see our first sample ending in -gnueabihf! :-)

Yes, that's expected. LAtest versions being at the top of the choices
means they are the defaults for those choices, so do not get saved in
defconfig files.

The rational for using defconfig is two-fold:
  - avoid the churn when porting to a newer set of options (eg. when
    updating ct-ng)
  - have samples that use the latest version of a component always
    use the latest version of that component. That should help catch
    breakage when adding new versions, as the bleeding-edge sample
    would cach it. No, I haven't had time to add such sample for now.

If you want to add a sample that is using the latest version of a
component, and it is the last version available, then you have to
explicitly edit the sample and manually add the corresponding
symbol. Tedious, but not insurmountable, I think.

So, I'll save the sample as a defconfig, but pinpoint the versions.

Also, next time, please remove the debugging stuff from the sample:
  - no CT_DEBUG_CT
  - no CT_COMPLIBS_CHECK

I've unchecked building documentation, as it fails here on my machine.
Something to do with pdflatex going nuts...

I'm doing a last build-test run, and I'll push that sample shortly.

Thank you!

Yann E. MORIN.
