I haven't got the time to support ddrescue on other platforms, but I am 
happy to see it ported and supported.

I also think so. Thanks for sharing your findings with us.

`snprintf' is not part of the C++ standard, but I really dont know why, 
given it is the perfect function for the job. Gcc/glibc include it as a 
extension, and I think all compilers should do the same.

`llabs' was added by ISO C99 and I suppose it is included in C++ as a 
extension, but not on all systems.
