But “only” on Solaris (and I even question _that_ decision). In particular, CC="gcc -m32" ./config.guess # from sparc64, ppc64(non-IBM) CC="gcc -mx32" ./config.guess # from x86_64 run from an sparc64-linux does not produce sparc-linux respectively, nor should it. The platform in both -m cases is sparc64, it is just that one chose to use ELF32 objects (be it for performance reasons or just general enjoyment). The situation is (loosely) like choosing between "small" and "large" memory models in Borland Turbo C (and probably other DOS-era compilers). _______________________________________________ config-patches mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/config-patches
