The problem Mike's referring to is simply CodeWarrior for BeOS's limitations
with inline assembler. We've got PPC assembler for the more recent versions
of CodeWarrior targetting MacOS, and of course for gcc (Chris Teplovs built
and successfully checked it out on LinuxPPC). If anyone knows how to get PPC
assembler, or even just explicit hex opcodes, to compile under CW for BeOS
please let us know. Alternatively we can have, as Mike suggests, a .S file
with pure assembly, and have ZAtomic.h's functions forward to the
implementations therein.
