Ah, conflicting information 8-/
When i complained about the missing Linux/PPC support at the Amsterdam
meeting several people claimed that this wasn't true ...
I haven't checked out the CVS stuff, my current code is frm Rick Taube's
distribution of LambdaGTK (which seems to be (?) your code).
There _is_ a 'ppc' directory in that code - does your comment imply that
this code is PPC/Darwin only?

Well, from Nikodemus' post i read that this stuff isn't really supported.
Darn, i wish i knew more about sdcl's internals.

Unless someone has added it, there is no Linux/PPC support.  It works
with Linux/x86, Solaris/SPARC, and Darwin/PPC (there were a couple
minor bugs in the Darwin/PPC, that I fixed in some version of the
"patch", but they could be worked around by lying about the affected
types).

There's a branch in CVS with this in it, so presumably it uses a
SYSTEM-AREA-COPY variant that matches what's in its kernel.  I
certainly won't be picking this up again until June or July, but
Nikodemus seems to be interested, so maybe he'll clean it up before
then.
