If you want to distribute extension modules for Ubuntu, just distribute the UCS-4 module. You need separate binary packages for different microprocessors and operating systems, anyway, as you can't use the same binary for Windows, OSX, Ubuntu, or Solaris. > Any extension built on Ubuntu may fail on some other system. Every extension built on Ubuntu *will* fail on other processors or operating systems - even if the Unicode issue was solved, it would still be a different instruction set (if you x85 vs. SPARC or Itanium, say), and even for a single microprocessor, it will fail if the OS ABI is different (different C libraries etc). Now, you seem to talk about different *Linux* systems. On Linux, use UCS-4.
