NetBSD _needs_ it that way to support 64 bit addressing. I'm uncomfortable porting code which is already both 32 and 64 bit clean to be 64 bit unclean! (Assuming that long _should_ be used) Can we change this for 2.2 please? -- John Birrell CIMlogic Pty Ltd jb@cimlogic.com.au 119 Cecil Street Ph +61 3 9690 9600 South Melbourne Vic 3205 Fax +61 3 9690 6650 Australia Mob +61 18 353 137
