Not as such, but it complicates the port a bit since it's the same code. What the encode/decode fixes in 7.2 do is to abstract the dumping of the symbol tables in programs in a platform independent way. Together with the non-native byte code they make program dumps architecture independent. They also improves the error checking when dumped programs are loaded and e.g. the programs they inherit have changed, and they are a step towards making dumped programs less dependent on the exact storage structure of inherited programs.

Is the native machine code stuff an issue here?
