Ok, so try it, find out by yourself it isn't supported as per the
docs, then go after folks who have misleadingly reported success and
learn from them that whatever hacks they may have used to get GCC to
build didn't really fix the problem, that involves modifying the sizes
of some data types and other porting issues I don't recall at the
moment. Besides, there's just no way it will support 64-bit PA: that
support isn't finished even in GCC mainline!
If you really mean to be helpful, please stop complaining about what
you think the docs say and help us remove the bits that may have got
you confused, by posting patches to them.
Thanks,
