That's certainly a bug. Two workarounds to try: 1) Set ARCH as an exported environment variable before you start to build. Make will read variables from the environment as well as the command line. (Indeed, I routinely set PLATFORM this way before I build anything, so I don't have to remember to use it on every make command line.) 2) Failing that, try one of the 32-bit bootstrap compilers at http://code.call-cc.org/bootstrap . They may be too old for 4.7; I don't know. Just put it somewhere on $PATH and you should be able to make Chicken without needing to make boot-chicken. I used to do this at Google, where 32-bit Linux userlands on 64-bit kernels were typical for development machines. -- Some people open all the Windows; John Cowan wise wives welcome the spring co...@ccil.org by moving the Unix. http://www.ccil.org/~cowan --ad for Unix Book Units (U.K.) (see http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/who/dmr/unix3image.gif) _______________________________________________ Chicken-hackers mailing list Chicken-hackers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-hackers
