This option appends -m32 to compiler and linker programs and does s/lib64/lib/g on link flags. This option is experimental. See config/init/defaults.pm for more. Is there anyone with a 64-arch like x86_64 who could assist with this? If so, please let me know. Thank you very much. Jim Keenan #parrot: kid51
It might be relevant to see into #42411 as well as it concerns --m=32 on FreeBSD. It's currently broken, but I made a patch that at least seems to fix parrot's end of the issue.
FreeBSD's different than other OS's for amd64 such as linux, in that it builds a true amd64 system, instead of a 32 bit system with extra 64 bit libraries(not to say that it's superior or inferior, but there are currently issues with 32 bit threaded applications, and parrot requires threads).
