Ok, I'll dig into this. I use gcc 3.4.5, that could be my problem; it's
broken on x86_64. I'll do some testing in this direction. Also, I see
that you have used .uaword and declared "int" in your sparc64
implementation to encode pointers. Am I missing something or should it
be "long" and either .word or .xword (32 or 64 bits) ?
