--- Comment #5 from Matthias Klose <doko at ubuntu dot com> --- > Well, on x86_64 if you build gcc with --disable-multilib you still > can compile with -m32 (even without a 32-bit user runtime). > Why should this be different on ppc64le? $ gcc -m32 -c foo.c foo.c:1:0: error: -m32 not supported in this configuration well, it is different, and this doesn't work on 4.8, 4.9 and 5 anymore.
