i get this error compiling nupas for arm (actually several similar errors)
cache.c:245 unknown vlong LIST

i found a thread and an apparent fix here:
http://bit.ly/dWpCnw

after reading an even earlier thread below, i understand why:
http://bit.ly/i5Njtt

but now i'm confused why 8c can handle it and 5c can't.

8c can handle it because it has special case
code for most of the 64-bit ops instead of
calling library routines.

russ is correct about the cause, but the fix to
the general code is completely trivial, and worth doing.
