FWIW, it is still in somewhat-wide use for embedded purposes. In addition to being used by some 'random' embedded toolchains, IIRC VxWorks also uses it for 64-bit MIPS platforms right now. I seem to recall that some people have also attempted to use it to get 64-bit-ish userland (incl. shlibs) for some open-source unix-like OSes. (That makes me ... sad. 8-) That doesn't mean that it's a good idea. Just saying that it is, in fact, still fairly widely used. chris
