Nope.  Aren't Alpha's big endian?  Might be an issue with
inbounds/outbounds if not careful.  Anyhow EM64T is little endian so I
haven't noticed a problem.

endianess but that isn't restricted to 64-bit.  Mind you I am not positive
about 32-bit big endian systems in existance.  Was HP-UX ever 32-bit?  Was
there ever a 32-bit Alpha machine?  I recall very early on that DOS was big
endian but that never survived long probably due to the PC architecture.

Sure.  I just built a new 'package' of the source I listed in the other
message for my new virtualized EM64T system I am currently typing these
messages from.  What version of glibc are you using?  I might be out of
sync there.

What might be a better idea is to start some chatter about a purely Fido
based distribution aside from the current distribution system.  That way
Husky could truly claim to be Fido friendly aside from the sourceforge
thingy.  ;-)

Life is good,
Maurice
