In my 35+ years working in the world of "big iron" I am constantly
disappointed with portability hell in just the Unix zoo - even in the
context of "standards". I only recently started playing with the embedded
world and it makes the Unix world look like nirvana! Somebody needs
to develop an industry standard HAL that the chip vendors can all
implement.

I didn't have any issues using 1.4.0 on OS X.

I got it to build with 1.4.0 with only minor changes so its not holding me
up. I prefer building everything from scratch in my embedded work...
