Re: [PATCH] support for the x32 architecture

Hello,

thanks for your reply.

That "q" hides inside my "MEMx" and "BUMPPTR" macros.
I now tested gcc 4.7 64bit positive, so it should work in x32 too.
Just saw that greedy2frame_template_sse2.c also used that hack before,
so I worried for no reason I guess :-)

O dear. That reminds me of old Amiga times when they advertised
so-called "Raytracer" packages to those who had too much money for both
hard and software...

Got one of these but there are no x32 libs and headers. I only could set
up a few gcc -S dry tun tests.

Speaking of tests, It would be nice if someone could test the x32
_functionality_. Your initial patch did fix x32 _build_ but actually
did not care about (and possibly broke) some other assembly parts.
