Some time ago I asked the silly question: 'does mount_smbfs work on
sparc64?'. The simple answer is 'no.' The 'make' fails with
#error "Macros for Big-Endians are incomplete"
which, to my limited knowledge, says that it ain't gonna compile on a
system like a sparc64.
However, I have been doing some digging at work, and lo and behold, Mac
OSX has a 'mount_smbfs' command, which leads me to ask this question:
is the Big-endian/Little-endian thing different between Mac PowerPC
processors [G5] and sparc64? If not, is there a way I can beat on the
code to make mount_smbfs compile for sparc64? IANAP by any stretch of
the imagination, but if someone is willing to guide me, I can certainly
try. Thanks.
As an aside, currently running 5.4RC3 on an E250 with 2x300MHz
processors without any noticeable problems.
