I've been looking for a way to build 32-bit x86 binaries on an AMD64 install of FreeBSD 6.3 STABLE. It has been an exercise in frustration with every technique hitting some other obstacle. Is there some easy way to do this that I'm overlooking? It's annoying that passing the default install of GCC a '-m32' causes it to sort of work. Trying to build a cross-compiler from the ports fails too. Why doesn't '-m32' just work? The libraries must already be there since I can run 32-bit binaries. Is it just missing/broken headers? http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=115784&cat= "We do not support general i386 binary building on freebsd/amd64." Why? As a more general question, shouldn't it be easy to build binaries for any supported FreeBSD platform on any other supported platform? DS
