Is there any problem with the use of ELF64, or you have any project goal that doesn=92t recommend its use? Another question I have is regarding the 64 bits development tools (for apps) current status. What are the recommended tools to generate 64 bits apps? Sorry if I=92m asking some pretty obvious questions (or if you had to answer them a hundred times!! :-))), but I wasn=92t able to find an = answer in the mailing list archives. I would appreciate very much your answer for my question, because I=92m very interested in running 64 bits apps in Linux/PA-RISC and I can even contribute some work in this area, if my manager accepts a project proposal I=92m currently doing. Thanks, Andr=E9 Magoga SW Engineer =96 T&T
