OK. But it would still be handy to me if you send the general
changes you needed to make to the spec file so that I can at least
incorporate the fixes into the more general and bundled file.

The answer is that the iverilog program produces code that can
be moved around and is not 64/32/ppc/sparc/whatever. That is not
the reason for the vvp32.

It is the vpi modules that customers may have and may have built
on 32bit machines and want to run on 64bit machines. VPI modules
are dynamic loaded, so a 64bit vvp will not be able to load a 32bit
VPI module.
