Package: gcc Version: 2:2.96-10 Severity: normal If glibc is to be believed (/usr/include/limits.h), gcc should be defining __WORDSIZE.
gcc versions 2.95, 2.96, and 3.0 have been tested; none of them seem to define it. As it is, there doesn't seem to be a good way to distinguish 32 bit from 64 bit platforms at compile time. Is this a misunderstanding on glibc's part? Where should __WORDSIZE be defined, and what alternatives exist? -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: ia64 Kernel: Linux butthead 2.4.9-itanium-smp #1 SMP Mon Sep 17 20:48:35 MDT 2001 ia64 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE= Versions of packages gcc depends on: ii cpp 2:2.96-10 The GNU C preprocessor. ii cpp-2.96 1:2.96-5 The GNU C preprocessor. ii gcc-2.96 1:2.96-5 The GNU C compiler.
