That's right. Note that you can't get a running binary "as is" because
there's no linux-specific code yet.

None. Too much code is dependent on the ISA, like all the assembly
code and the compiler.
You should run in 32-bit mode on x86-64 cpus.

no, the tool uses a dependency database (look at includeDB &
includeDB2)

I think david changed things related to eventLog in r45, but my
changes are based on r36.
It looks like the correct capitalization is eventLog.
