The 64bit kernel supports 64bit operation Only if the program is compile 64 bit ! Moreover with any app there are library calls.
However if compile 64bit, with altivec support, won't run on 32bit machine. But with 32bit and altivec will run faster on both but floating point not faster on on 64bit machine. But other things faster on both. best to try building and testing with various options to see. a lot of trouble for one person to do much all by and for only theirself. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
