Now that gcc-3.2.3 is the default compiler for debian-sparc, and is 64-bit capable, we have a first. The same compiler is able to do all the compilations for the system (including 64-bit userspace). Yeah :) One major change is coming though. Normally the 64-bit enabled compiler will check uname() to see if we are sparc or sparc64 (changable using the sparc32/sparc64 programs to change the personality or specifically using -m32/-m64). I have that disabled right now. It would default to -m64 (64-bit) for sparc64, and -m32 (32-bit) for sparc. However, as you all may know, uname shows sparc64 for all ultrasparc systems, even though debian-sparc has always been (and always will be) 32-bit userspace on that platform. Is there any plan to provide 64 bit X libraries as well 64 bit glibc libraries? James A. Morrison
