64-bit isn't any more "native" than 32-bit on some 64-bit platforms. 32-bit is the default and most desirable userland binary format on sparc64 for example. So 32-bit programs on sparc64 are as "native" as 64-bit ones might be considered. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
