Well, I hope I haven't sounded too definite on this issue
and haven't overstated anything :-) - I'm just a bit more
optimistic now about our new strategy of substituting all longs
in StarOffice code (which in almost 99% were used as
uint32's) with unsigned ints on Alpha. At least, we
progressed with building a few more projects this way.
Any other way similar to what I tried earlier - to get the code
running with longs - very well may require help of newest gcc.
