I'm aware of this. But unless the code was unmaintainable or broken, I don't see a reason for removing it. Debian (and NetBSD) still support hppa perfectly fine so the code is actually being compiled, used and test-run. And guile has been building fine on Debian/hppa. Access to hppa machines for testing and bug fixing is also available through Debian. > As an ia64 user, i'm a bit sad that we lost jit too - but i don't run any > performance-sensitive guile jobs on that system. Are you using Debian's ia64 port? We recently resurrected it ;). Adrian -- .''`.
