I believe it affects >function stack layout and calling conventions (one GPR versus two). The stack on powerpc has an alignment of 16 bytes due to AltiVec. The double type arguments are passed in two 32bit grp registers. The kernel can emulate those Opcodes if there are not availble. I know some one run my port on a G5 for testing. So yes we can mix it and no I don't want it because it will be slow.

Okay. So I will redirect all OpenOffice builds to your machines :) >Kyle Moffett Sebastian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
