Gentoo on x86_64, so there should be no difference. Can you send me your 
input file?

No, it is not, actually. As long as each collection of elements is 
always wrapped by an element containing nothing else, it is easy to 
iterate over these things. Or by iterating over all subnodes and 
handling them according to key (it->first). For most configurations, 
that will suffice.

I don't think it's possible to load just a subset. At least not with the 
current parser.
