Perhaps the symlink at /usr/include/asm is better suited elsewhere? The cpp include path for i386 (-m32 flag), is as follows:
foo ~ $ gcc -m32 -Wp,-v test.c ignoring nonexistent directory "/usr/local/include/i386-linux-gnu" ignoring nonexistent directory "/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/../../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/include" #include "..." search starts here: #include <...> search starts here: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/include /usr/local/include /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/include-fixed /usr/include/i386-linux-gnu /usr/include End of search list. And for the armhf toolchain ... foo ~ $ arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -Wp,-v test.c ignoring nonexistent directory "/usr/local/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf" ignoring nonexistent directory "/usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf" #include "..." search starts here: #include <...> search starts here: /usr/lib/gcc-cross/arm-linux-gnueabihf/4.8/include /usr/lib/gcc-cross/arm-linux-gnueabihf/4.8/include-fixed /usr/lib/gcc-cross/arm-linux-gnueabihf/4.8/../../../../arm-linux-gnueabihf/include /usr/include Wouldn't it be better to allow gcc to find i386 specific asm defines in /usr/include/i386-linux-gnu/asm? # rm -f /usr/include/asm # ln -s x86_64-linux-gnu /usr/include/i386-linux-gnu # ln -s x86_64-linux-gnu /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnux32 There. Both -m32 and -mx32 flags will work fine. You can have cross compilers installed at the same time. And to boot, no potential for cross-contamination between platform specific macros. Hopefully, we can agree that a symlink at /usr/include/asm is universally wrong? You can't have platform specific defines in a common include directory for all gcc targets? Maybe we can file a bug against gcc-multilib, and move on? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1300211 Title: Can't install both gcc-multilib and gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-defaults/+bug/1300211/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
