As I understand it, the Power Open ABI was based on the ABI used by AIX, but I've never actually seen a separate AIX ABI document. (To be honest though, I haven't looked that hard.) If you have a pointer to a separate AIX ABI document, I'd like to look at it. I don't agree regarding the name "ppc-svr4-abi.c". The title of the ABI document is: System V Application Binary Interface PowerPC Processor Supplement In the introduction under the heading "The PowerPC Processor and the System V ABI", the document says: The System V Application Binary Interface, or System V ABI, defines a system interface for compiled application programs. Its purpose is to establish a standard binary interface for application programs on systems that implement the interfaces defined in the System V Interface Definition, Issue 3. This includes systems that have implemented UNIX System V Release 4. Kevin
