are you saying change 8l so that it creates code that works on 9vx in the special case that it runs on a 64-bit system? Then we're going to need to make 8l aware of way too much stuff. That strikes me as the wrong direction. I think what you want to do is what my 9vx branch does: on 64- or 32- bit system, the TOS struct is always correctly set up for a 32-bit 9vx binary. If someone wants to send me a go binary I can test tomorrow on 64-bit osx with my 9vx branch. ron
