The flag could cause issue for programs which assume that the high bit is never set for pointers, and use it for another purpose. It's not the case for pypy, because we reserve such tricks to Linux ;-) And I guess it's the same for all other libraries we link with, since they are also cross-platform. -- Amaury Forgeot d'Arc
