Tumble thinks all the world is a little-endian Linux box. I've hacked
on it to make it build and run for FreeBSD/i386 4.8-STABLE, and yes it
does need some changes, one being a kludge to deal with the absence of
<stdint.h> on FreeBSD 4.x, and another because of some expectations of
the relationship between <stdio.h> open streams and the underlying
file descriptors which I suppose are true under Linux but not under
FreeBSD.
Oh yes, and you will need Bison -- there are some yacc bits that don't
build under Berkeley yacc.
I have told Eric about my experiences with making it work. He's been
traveling so I expect it's buried in his in-box. I'll remind him
about it next time I see him.
