I have no idea what ``64-bit >architecture'' may mean.
There is really no need to be a troll when someone is trying to provide useful helpful advice. If you do not know what __arch64__ is, then by all means read ISO C99 and/or the gcc or other documentation. This mailing list is getting more sickening and useless every day with useless commentary like yours in response to a helpful message. I guess when the ship sinks however, the whole thing goes down, not just part of it. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
