Changing alpha isn't near as "bad" as changing i386, as it already passes args in 64-bit registers, so printf won't break, etc. I don't think i386 should ever change, personally, but I don't think it will really break Alpha near as much as i386. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
