I'm struggling with portability, notably, 32-bit and 64-bit (and 128-bit in the future?), little-endian and big-endian. I personally feel that I've reached an acceptable form about the usability. If you have any idea, please send it to this list. Also, I need help to support more architectures. I myself work on i386-pc and x86_64-pc, because I have good knowledge on them. For ppc, sparc, arm, etc., I hope others will contribute. Okuji
