Alpha VM on Solaris UltraSPARC?

[Nick Forde]

Many thanks Nicolas. This was indeed all that I had to update and the
slate tests at least now all pass OK.

Lee, how would you like to implement this so that it works on all 
platforms?
Using an inline byte-wise copy function? Is the overhead of this 
sufficient
that two implementations are required?

Nick.
