I've mostly this done, I need to polish and send to the list. My initial plan was to fix all warning first to be able to spot regressions easily, but I can do that diffing the build.logs. And fixing all warnings in the Linux code seems a bit dull, more so when we are supposed to drop it eventually. :) <http://git.hadrons.org/?p=gnu/gnumach.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/pu/port-amd64> > Add 32->64 boot switch. In addition to context switch support, and porting any other 32 bit specific piece of code in GNU Mach, etc. regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
