I'm now maintaining an out-of-tree ppc64 backend (note: not Rhapsody, this is for IBM POWER and Linux on Mac G5s). In fact I fixed two bugs in it just today. http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=fedora-ocaml.git If someone wants to pull together all the out-of-tree backends into one place, let me know. I'm sort of interested in maintaining the dropped Itanic backend too, since customers will insist on using it for some reason. Rich. -- Richard Jones Red Hat
