Please see my patch I linked to before. (I forget the exact amount, but
yes the patch touches like ~400 files) I agree that Open64 is currently
not very portable, but I am working on that. Over time you'll see the
build process and various things cleaned up.
Things on my list I have already done or experimented with
* Clean-up the ifdefs that are OS specific
* Add a configure script which will help figure out OS/target
specifics for the build
* Change some defines that assume ILP32 to a more portable type
Open64 already supports the IA-64 target, but it's at least a week of
work to merge and verify this patch. My problem is I've rebased to a
codebase which I'm hoping I can publicly make available soon.
