Hi all, 64-bit PicoLisp now also runs on PowerPC/Linux :) So this is the second CPU supported (in addition to x86-64).
Thanks to Nikolai Zobnin! I could use his hardware to do the port. Seems to work well: It assembles itself, and the unit tests in "lib/test.l" and "misc/bigtest" pass. Probably some speed optimizations could be done. The generated code seems not very efficient, and there might be improvements like instruction reordering or direct cache management. I don't know enough about that, so I'll leave it the way it is for now. Available in the current testing release (version 3.0.6.6).
