Although we may not have run it on MacOS X recently, I believe that it 
should work.  We've run it on several architectures and operating 
systems, including SparcV9/Solaris.

If you find that PA doesn't compile or work on MacOS X, please file a 
bug report (http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/bugs/) so that we can fix it.

I'm not sure what this means, but I don't believe that it means that it 
only works on x86.  It might just fiddle with alignments to get better 
performance out of the x86.
