Hi Olivier, if you want, I can integrate those changes into trunk for you.
Did you already start working on other CPU support for Haiku? Do you have any compile-farm similar to gcc-farm? It would be nice to also get regular testsuite results for Haiku OS! Have a nice new year celebration! Pierre PS: I don't remember if you speak French, but, just in case, Bonne et heureuse année else Happy New Year!
