Hi David,

FLINT has not been tested on SkyNet, which is the main blocker for the
release of flint itself. I simply have not had the time, which has
been a shame. If someone at Sage Days has time to do this and report
the issues on flint-devel, this would be a HUGE help. Note: I *expect*
there to be numerous issues. But most should be minor, e.g. guards on
system headers.

Also, a little bit of work needs to be done on longlong.h before FLINT
will be efficient on Itanium, though there is no reason why this has
to be done for this release. It will still work on Itanium (in fact I
believe it has been tested on that platform).

Bill.
