Re: [Gcl-devel] Re: NetBSD/sparc port?

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!

Basically this is just a means to get the wordsize on the machine.

#define ELFW(a) Mjoin(ELF,Mjoin(__ELF_NATIVE_CLASS,Mjoin(_,a)))

is supposed to exapand to ELF32a or ELF64a.  You can just define a
constant for the machine your using as a first start.

How do we get GCL taken up by the BSD distros?  Is there any mechanism
for systematizing these builds (i.e. 3Bsd x i386,sparc,...)

Take care,
