[Unicon-group] AMD64 processors are weeping
by Barry Schwartz

REPLY TO GROUP






I decided to try compiling the latest CVS and, while the build goes
through for intel_linux, building amd64_linux (gcc 4.4.2) fails due to
buffer overflow in icont. Possibly related, there were many warnings
about broken printf calls, some warnings about potentially dangerous
casts, etc., that could affect AMD64 or other 64-bit architectures.

(Also I noticed that the Xft tests in aclocal.m4 are out of date and
won't work with current versions, but AFAICT Xft isn't actually used
anywhere in the code. :)
