You can delete all references to 68010.  That was just a hack to
produce code acceptable to both 68010 and 68020 at the same time.

If you are producing separate libraries, sized_io is portable to any
(reasonable) architecture as it does the necessary byte-swapping itself.

You may not have realized it, but the 2nd argument you pass to
select_server_stream is exactly a list of all clients.
