[M3devel] Re: porting m3 on intel mac

[Tony Hosking]

Yes, I386_DARWIN code is already in CVS.  Really, there shouldn't be  
problems with user-level threading -- I did confirm that it worked  
for me, but I wonder if there have been library changes with later  
XCode updates.  Anyway, I can try testing with XCode 2.4 sometime,  
but I don't want to break my existing Intel installation.
