OK, these may be really stupid questions but: 1) How does make world know whether to build 32-bit or 64-bit binaries? 2) Can a binary from a 32-bit FreeBSD system be run unmodified on the 64-bit system? 3) If I reboot with 32-bit or 64-bit kernels, does the system magically somehow make the userland stuff work natively at the word width? If so, how?
