That's no problem:
we're also not fully ready for 64bit :-\
Well, actually a couple of obvious problems has been
addressed already (mixing up int vs. pointer type, etc. - though
even this kind of problem is not fully gone probably),
I suspect we have some low-lying ones still.
Any real testing now WRT emacs&LessTif should be done on
a platform on which LessTif is known to work well.
Unfortunately I prefer to test things first on the alpha-based
machines here around, since they're much faster than my
i86 boxes ...
