Does your schedule and/or interest in the next few months permit a new (and hopefully final) round of testing for 2.7? At a somewhat casual pace, that is? Do you still use 2.7 in daily work? If so, is there anything recently added that has prevented you from using the latest (i.e. apart from compiling fatigue :-))? Is 2.7 on balance preferrable to 2.6? The chief drawback in this regard is the automatic recompile overhead at loadtime which takes some getting used to at the very least, and possibly should be rethought, though there is no way I can see guaranteeing correctness with unboxed call signatures otherwise. > I hope things are going great with you. > > Here is a silly question: Has anyone ported GCL to the > Playstation 3?

Of course we do support Debian/ppc. There was some talk of a Debian port to the 'super h' processor a while back, which I also understand is of Japanese origin. In general, until a machine becomes available via remote ssh and has gcc, we cannot begin. When that happens most ports are quite easy. Which reminds me that I have to get to the bottom of mac intel. If there is anyone at your site who uses the mingw windows port and can spare a few moments remote debugging via email, please let me know. This port is currently the albatross holding up 2.6.8.
