I personally did 98% of the work to update the ezm3 port to version 1.2. That lays the ground work to port ezm3 to 64-bit AMD64. The version of GCC that ezm3 was based on didn't really produce usable AMD64 code. If you look at the mess of patches and total hack job Peter went thru to build what he did, it would be clear why none of that was added to the ports. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
