The AMD64 rswitch.s is completely different from the rswitch.s for x86, because on AMD64 you pass arguments differently. There are more registers available for efficient argument passing. I have a patch for 11.1-beta on AMD64, which I think was able to get Unicon through most or all of the tests. This was on Gentoo Linux with gcc 3.3. I haven't yet tested it with gcc 3.4. Also I got the iconc compiler working, but that may be more system dependent than icont/iconx. Another approach is to build Unicon as a 32-bit application, if your system supports it. Adding the -m32 flag to the gcc flags might suffice. Then you would use the regular Linux configuration and rswitch.s. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.chemoelectric.org
