Perhaps, and the two statements don't contradict. All he was doing was asking a very sensible architecture question to understand why the IA64 binary was so big. > Please do not make such inflammatory statements on the > ia64 list. Since when has asking sensible questions been "inflammatory statements". If thats how you treat the people actually porting to IA64 then its out of order, at least for linux-kernel, which is where you cross posted. Alan
