Ive built a native gdb64 under Dapper and it works just fine.
Ok; thats a useful datapoint. Ill see what patches they are using.
A pure-64bit userland on sparc64 is an _incredibly_ _stupid_ idea.
Sniff ;)
The only thing youll get is larger binaries, worse performance, and
maybe 1 or 2 tools which work a slightly better but could be easily
fixed to work properly as a 32-bit app too.
I dont disagree, but my distro is all built from source, and is a
quick port from the pure 64bit x86_64 version. One glibc and a
non-multilib gcc makes everything _so_ much simpler to build :)
But the "speed" of the distro apps is irrelevant; the peformance
of my custom massively threaded 64bit apps are the only thing that
matters. Ive been benchmarking a T1000 to see how it peforms
against the x86_64 kit I am more used to. And I bought a pallet load
of E4500s to play with, since they were almost free :)
