[M3devel] AMD-64 binaries?

I can definitely vouch for ALPHA_OSF having worked as recently as two  
years ago, but without the pthreads native threading system.  That  
port should have been easy enough I suspect.

I believe that is how I configured it.

Nope, cm3cg on AMD64_DARWIN is 64-bit.

Don't thinks so.

would be with cm3cg.
