BUILDING
--------
+ ./bootstrap (skip if using tarball)
+ ./configure
make
- #force 32-bit build with: make -f Makefile32
- #force 64-bit build with: make -f Makefile64
make install
-
+
+ Note: Forcing 32-bit build:
+ * CFLAGS=-m32 ./configure
+
+ Forcing 64-bit build:
+ * CFLAGS=-m64 ./configure
+
+ARCHITECTURES SUPPORTED
+-----------------------
+
+Currently, x86 (only P6+), x86 64, PowerPC 32/64 and S390 are
+supported. The current use of sys_futex() makes it Linux-dependent, although
+this portability limitation might go away in a near future by using the pthread
+cond vars. Also, the restriction against i386, i486 and Pentium might go away if
+we integrate some of glibc runtime CPU-detection tests.
