- Series 300/400 is out; they have a Motorola MC680x0 processor, not at all
- similar to PA-RISC.
-
- Series 8x7 should work, other things being equal. For other Series 800,
- it can be done if you're careful. You'll need to use the +DA1.0 compile
- option to exclude new PA-RISC 1.1 instructions. Then, if you link against
- shared libraries or libraries you've built for PA 1.0, you should be OK.
- If you link against archive libraries, be sure that they're PA 1.0. Use
- the file command for this; it will say either s800 or PA-RISC1.1 (based on
- my sample-of-two test).
-
- This should take care of most cases, but I'm not giving out any guarantees.
