Hi, I've just read through the WHOLE archive of this mailing list! There was a discussion a little while back about what the ABI should be for FBSD-PPC. Has anyone had any further thoughts on this? I'd also appreciate it if someone could clarify why the PPC ABI needs to be different to the i386 ABI. I'm kind of assuming that the term ABI refers to the messy details of translating something like creat() into a call to the kernel - putting parameters into registers or onto the stack, etc, which is necessarily architecture-dependent.
