1- Would making unix-dso a subclass of component but not of module somehow help solve the problem?
<blush>I didn't even carefully read the system definition --- I just dug in to trying to make it load. You are right --- I don't see any reason why this should be a subclass of module instead of component.</blush>
2- I admit I have little familiarity with TRAVERSE. Looking at it makes me shudder. I really don't want to try understanding it enough to be able to modify it in ways that I can say for sure will be backwards compatible with all previous reasonable uses. It's one of the reasons I'd rather spend time on XCVB.
Right. I /have/ tried to understand and modify it, and there are still a few corners that I truly don't understand.
3- To debug with a 32-bit implementation on a 64-bit architecture, give the -m32 flag to gcc. Dunno exactly about ld; same flag or different flag might be needed. Otherwise, you can install a 32-bit chroot installation and run stuff inside it.
Thanks.
4- Is there an ILC this year? Where, when? I could talk about ASDF 2, but I wouldn't be able to talk competently about TRAVERSE. If some kind soul would co-present a paper with me, we could do the whole thing.
I would be delighted to coauthor a paper with you about ASDF. I thought the ILC was going to be in Japan. If so, I'm sorry, but my back and height put Japan out of range by coach flight, so no co-presenting! But I've been dying for an excuse to go to Europe for a lisp symposium! ;-)
Best, r
