I never heard back from Xavier on the handbook includes proposal, so . . |
43 |
. who knows. Combining the ppc handbooks seems like it'll take quite a |
44 |
bit of work though, as I imagine there will need to be a lot of |
45 |
conditionals for 64/32-bit differences. Well, that's what I'm guessing |
46 |
anyway. I mean, there's a while extra chapter or something just for |
47 |
oldworld machines, and other 32-bit ppc platforms. |

Still, let's take a look at the code and see what duplicates what. I'm |
50 |
sure we can think of something. :) |

for everything! --hint hint) |
