[Mono-dev] 32-bit support in hppa_atomic.s

[Gary V. Vaughan]

Right now, using the vendor compilers, I am trying to port mono-1.1.7
to various commercial Unix including hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.00 and
hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.11.  Unfortunately, I am stuck here:

gmake[3]: Entering directory `/opt/build/mono-1.1.7/mono/io-layer'
/bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=compile cc -I../.. +O2 -z +Onofltacc +ESlit
+DAportable +Oentrysched +Odataprefetch +Onolimit +ESdbgasm -g  -c -o

'./'`hppa_atomic.s
 cc -I../.. +O2 -z +Onofltacc +ESlit +DAportable +Oentrysched

.libs/libwapi_la-hppa_atomic.ocpp: "hppa_atomic.s", line 34: error 4062:
"Currently only supports 64 bit pointers"
gmake[3]: *** [libwapi_la-hppa_atomic.lo] Error 1

I would much rather have a 32-bit Mono (all of our support libraries are
32-bit), and wondered whether there is any technical reason why it is
not supported right now?  Or if it is just a "simple matter of
programming" for the right person?  If so, who might the right person
be?

Maybe this is already fixed in the latest stable release?

Cheers,
	Gary.
