AFAIK only the REGPARAM_BUG test checks if it runs. We can test for that. But this is a bug not just related to the AMD64, it is also the case when cross-compiling, I think? So this bug already exists, this is just one scenario that triggers this bug, right? > !!!!!

That is why my patch just > overrides settings and then restores settings for building utilities. I am not sure about that yet. I will check in my patch later this evening. After that I will have a look at the REGPARAM issue. I will try to test if it will build on a system without 32 bits libraries installed. -- Marco
