Did any part of your patch get committed upstream? I admit I haven't 
looked in the Csound repo...

My patch covers some of the same ground that you already covered. I've 
done a few things differently: e.g. sunos5 == solaris. Also, you changed 
the type of len_t. The system provided one is u_longlong_t, whereas the 
old one was long. Also I've avoided built-in macros like "sun".

So I think it might be best to move Sun Pro parts of your patch, and the 
double precision arithmetic parts, and any multi-arch parts into seperate 
patches.

I think my patch is wrong WRT to the 64 bit python checks in SConstruct. 
And I patched some stuff that I've not compiled since beause I didn't 
build the deps yet, and some modules I've not patched at all (for the same 
reason).

But this is all a bit off-topic for this mailing list. We should move this 
thread to email or to a different list.

That would be great. It needs wider testing. Especially things like 64-bit 
hardware including SPARC, also slower CPUs and more ./configure options etc.

I've uploaded my Csound patch and the script I used to build everything -- 

http://www.telegraphics.com.au/~fthain/pulseaudio/

Hopefully it will save you some effort. For example there's a bunch of 
packages that I build just so I could run bootstrap.sh for pulseaudio. 
Unfortunately there's no easy way around that until we have a pulseaudio 
release with a new configure script.
