MacOSX gcc, NetBSD for PPC, and the Sys V ABI?

[Kevin B. Hendricks]

Hi,

Thanks, That explains it.

The NetBSD folks said they follow the Sys V ABI but after I saw what Mac OSX was doing I got worried.  The two ABI's must be very similar since so much was the same.

Do you have a reference or link to PowerOpen ABI documentation or anuything that explains the differences?

Thanks,

Kevin
