As I said before, X32 is an optional ABI in 64-bit kernels, for 64-bit userspace code using 32-bit pointers to save memory. Userspace software doesn't have to support it, it can just go full 64-bit. Any kernel that supports X32 also supports the full 64-bit ABI. -- Brian Gerst -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
