[PD] Re: pd 0.36 for IRIX o32/n32 and externals

[Miller Puckette]

Hi Soren,

I don't think I ever was able to get externs to load without crashing
in the "n32" version.  I didn't have much time to try to fix it though
(I was squatting an SGI machine.)  My _guess_ is, that if you can get
n32 versions of Pd and an extern compiled with debugging flags, it might
be possible to see where the process is failing; perhaps it would be
enough just to put printfs in the code (the extarn loader in s_loader.c
and the setup() routine in the extern itself.)  It's probably just that
someone is calling a routine with an incorrect cast.

cheers
Miller
