[Mono-list] Mono doesn't work on PowerPC

[Yury Serdyuk]

Hi !

I have proceed further trying to build Mono on ppc64 architecture.
Problem is with compiling the following fragment of code
(extracted from the expression.cs ):

//
// expression.cs: Expression representation for the IL tree.

namespace Mono.CSharp {
        using System;

        //
        //   Unary implements unary expressions.
        //
        public class Unary { //   : Expression {

                void TryReduceConstant ( )
                {
                  uint  long_constant = 9223372036854775808;
                        //if ( ull.Value == 9223372036854775808 )
                        //    return null;

                }

        }

}

During the build phase, I've got:

$ MONO_PATH="/home/user002/mono-2.0/mcs/class/lib/monolite:$MONO_PATH" 
/home/user002/mono-2.0/mono/mini/mono

Aborted

In fact, problem is with 19-digits uint constant.
If we put 18 digits, we get a normal reaction:

$ MONO_PATH="/home/user002/mono-2.0/mcs/class/lib/monolite:$MONO_PATH" 
/home/user002/mono-2.0/mono/mini/mono 
/home/user002/mono-2.0/mcs/class/lib/monolite/mcs.exe expr3.cs
expr3.cs(23,25): error CS0031: Constant value `922337203685477580' 
cannot be converted to a `uint'
Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings

Any comments or ideas ?
( I use Mono 2.0 preview 2 version).
