Yesterday I started fixing parrot, a register-based virtual machine that will be the foundation of Perl 6, on some architectures that are currently broken, namely arm, s390, mips, mipsel, ia64 and hppa. Up to this evening s390 and hppa already works and a quick fix for ia64 is also prepared. That's kind of successful in my eyes! :-)

Currently I'm investigating into the mips build errors. Mipsel will follow afterwards. Unfortunately I can't debug parrot on arm currently because Debian doesn't have an arm machine that's accessable for developers. :-/

Update: ia64 works again now!
