Yes, but I'm not sure we're complete. I think the compat4x bits are designed to amend existing i386 libraries and only include those that had a version bump. On ia64 we would then not have those that did not have a version bump. I think it's better to make it a port. That way it's more easily shared with amd64 (if applicable). -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net
