Ugh, more like loads of pain. There are deployed platforms using the embedded 'invented' bindings. I don't think it is an option to break compatibility with older trees. If there is some backwards compatibility code then I'm all for migrating to the same binding as Sparc and PowerMac g. -- Grant Likely, B.Sc., P.Eng. Secret Lab Technologies Ltd.
