4 Have you tried a 32-bit program to see if it is the bits or the code ?
5 Have you tried a 32-bit and 64-bit simple c program to see if it is an
6 assembly problem and not a 64-bit problem ?

8 I understand you are an experienced programmer and might have already tried
9 these things, I ask only because you don't mention any details of having
10 investigated the problem prior to emailing the list.
11 You would problably have more replies on the binutils or gcc lists, although
12 without evidence that you have investigated the problem somewhat, they might
13 also not respond, not knowing what technical level of response you will
14 understand.

16 Of course, all of this is just my humble opinion, I offer it hoping to have
17 your question answered instead of popping back into my inbox next week.
