Agreed. But I'm not sure we need a wire change, just redefining long to be int32_t, in effect standardizing on the i386 sizes. I did this with amanda/kerberos and it worked. > > 64k/32u: > > [-current and cross tools] I'm avoiding -current today, but may take the plunge. I can build cross tools on 1.6, too. I suspect the coda source is cross-buildable - sometimes there is autoconf stuff that builds programs and runs them to make decisions. > > 32k/32u: > > Hardly any point in having 64bit capable hardware then, is there? ;) My thoughts exactly!Received on 2004-02-12 19:56:35
