Subject: 64-bit user-space on G5? Never, soonish, or unknown?
Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2004 15:09:00 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <16426.14204.974363.611192@alkaid.it.uu.se> (raw)
We're considering buying a G5 for porting a compiler/runtime-system
project to PPC and eventually PPC64.
The question is, will Linux ever support a 64-bit user-space
on the G5? From my reading of arch/ppc and arch/ppc64, the
differences seem major so I'm not holding my breath, but perhaps
there is hope.
Or should we just treat the G5 as a faster 32-bitter?
Or should we use some other OS than Linux :-(
TIA,
/Mikael Pettersson
