Compilers are currently GCC 4.2.1 and clang 4.0.0, so code needs to work with both of those. OpenBSD runs on strict-alignment architectures, BE and LE, signed vs. unsigned char arches, and different stack directions, so portability is important. > Ok.

Not absolutely strictly, but shouldn't go too far from it. (Also generally local style in a particular part of the tree should be respected).
