Arglll .... :-)
Well, about cloning an SGI - recently I played a bit with the reverse
endian bit of the processor. I managed to launch a big endian ELF
executable on my little endian machine. And Per just mailed me that
he managed to build a shared library using a Japanese guy's patches
for binutils. Both has of course not much more than hack status, but
opens nice perspectives in combination.
