Notice that the description speaks about a "mature" system, i don't think that something so endian-buggy that it won't build on powerpc, and probably not also on the other bigendian arches, should use the term "mature" in its description. Please forward to the list, as i can't post for obvious reasons. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
