this is not a democracy :) if we are going to go the route of "x86 is 95% of the users, so let's treat x86 special", then we might as well drop support for all the other architectures. > BTW, what is the status for hppa?

There is work needed for binutils, gcc and glibc. I will be discussing this more with Carlos and Dave (our gcc/binutils upstream maintainer) during gcc-summit at the end of this month. There is a preliminary design for NPTL for hppa. The first step to get this to work is for us to agree on a workable design for implementing this. I hope to get that done by the end of the month. randolph -- Randolph Chung Debian GNU/Linux Developer, hppa/ia64 ports http://www.tausq.org/
