[bug #25425] Framework resource loading not functioning properly on ARM based Linux

[Richard Frith-Macdonald]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #25425 (project gnustep):

It sounds to me like a problem with the installation of the framework rather
than a problem with the loading mechanism.

If I understand frameworks correctly, all the resources are supposed to be in
subdirectories of the versions folder, and the loading code is supposed to
load in the data from the subdirectory whose version matches the running
code.

The top-level Resources folder is meant to be a link to the most recently
installed data as a convenience for human beings and software development
tools looking to locate the latest information ... because that's what you are
going to use when you build an appplication.

ie one lookup is for runtime use by code which has lnked a framework, and the
other location is for builtime use.

So loading resources for a running application from the top-level directory
would break versioning and thus the library should never do it.

Of course, I may be misunderstanding framework versioning here ...
