Okay, I read that to mean that you can run already built 32 bit binary versions of Wine.
What about compiling? Would compiling Wine on an Opteron work? Hmm. I suppose you could cross compile to 32 bit, couldn't you.
Well, I do ;)
SUSE 9.0 comes with full biarch toolchain support on AMD64.
Before you start, install additionaly to the default packages: glibc-devel-32bit freetype2-devel-32bit XFree86-devel-32bit XFree86-Mesa-devel-32bit fontconfig-devel-32bit openssl-devel-32bit ncurses-devel-32bit alsa-32bit and any dependend rpms.
Then: export LD="ld -m elf_i386"
CC="gcc -m32" AS="gcc -c -m32" \ ./configure --prefix=/usr --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib make depend all
The -m32 switches gcc to 32bit mode.
If you have arts-devel installed, you might need to patch dlls/winmm/winearts/Makefile and replace lib64 by lib.
You will also need attached winebuild patch that uses "LD" from the environment.
Ciao, Marcus
