I gave it a try, but I afraid it's not that simple. The "long" variable are now 64 bit and can no<BR>
longer be assigned to "int" variable which remain at 32 bit. More 32->64 bit code porting<BR>
as to go on.<BR>
<BR>
The 2 fundamental questions:<BR>
<BR>
1- to break or not to break the build on 64 bit system<BR>
2- to skip or not to skip 32 bit assembler code to have successful (not runnable) build<BR>
<BR>
My preference goes with a full compile on 64 bit, which goes against common sense.<BR>
It is the most helpful scenario in the specific context of the X.Org release flow.<BR>
There are many drivers that build on platforms which do not use them.<BR>
<BR>
I appreciate everyone's input, I did not expect such an interest.<BR>
