My _kernel_ is 64-bit, but my user-space is all 32-bit because (a) I don't care about user-space and (b) I'm lazy and (c) all the distributions contain just 32-bit programs and a ppc64 kernel has no trouble running 32-bit programs. I can compile a kernel with "-m64", but since I don't have any 64-bit libraries installed, user space doesn't work that well ;) Linus
