Another question for you guys about OSX.

32 bits support as been removed some weeks ago without further notice
on OSX version.

* Why such decision ?

* How could we bring back 32 bits support, especially -d32 support ?

* Where is the correct location to enter a bug report on this
(bugreport.sun.com ?)

Cheers
