The architecture isn't defined in GENERIC, it defaults to what's already installed. You have to explicitly set it to cross-build, and I find it hard to believe that someone would set TARGET/TARGET_ARCH to amd64 by mistake I think it's likely that it is a 64-bit installation. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
