OK, I'm pretty sure it's only one or two places (yeah for modular code
:). So, should I make that change in both trees, or just in the
development tree? My recommendation is to be *really* conservative and
not change it around for v6.4.1, since there may be a supported platform
which doesn't conform to our assumptions. But I don't have a really
strong feeling about it, so if people other than Alpha and glibc2 folks
think it might be OK then...
