The i386 is plagued by it's 16-bit (arguably its 8 or even 4 bit) past. The HP-PARISC has its brokenness, PPC isn't that great either from what I've heard. And the list goes on. Now I will I admit that I am likely wrong, and can expect some flamage for this. This is intended as a curiousity about something decent. This can include architectures like the IA64 & the upcoming x86-64. Just looking for something with lots of GPR's, sane MM support, etc. Takers (Borrowing asbestos suit from my uncle) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
