Just to get this straight: does that mean that "we" (that's you, David, along with Peter) have chosen to do linux i386 32-bit ABI emulation first and to wait-and-see for the amd64 (x86_64 in linuxland) ABI emulation? Is there any hope of it being there "soon"? -- Adriaan de Groot adridg@cs.kun.nl Kamer A6020 024-3652272 GPG Key Fingerprint 934E 31AA 80A7 723F 54F9 50ED 76AC EE01 FEA2 A3FE http://www.cs.kun.nl/~adridg/research/
