Hi Dave!
As promised in another mail earlier today, here is the current patch
changes that we are currently using on top of silo HEAD to build
it as a 64-bit package in Debian unstable (sparc64).
The silo package has been shipped in Debian with 64-bit support for
a while now without any major issues for most people. So far, I
only know of two cases where people had issues but this seems to
affect Serengeti and Amazon machines only and not a result of this
particular patch.
Thanks,
Adrian
