And Alpha - actually someone needs to build an i386 binary package for
Debian.  Note that the Debian build support is in CVS, so you can just
run 'debian/rules build && fakeroot debian/rules binary-arch' from
within a checked-out tree to get a binary package for your
architecture.

Sammy or some other toolchain hacker: can you look at the diff from
the SRPM?  I haven't checked it into CVS because it's a really bad
kludge, but it's needed to compile on Alpha.

As far as I can tell, BFD64 gets defined if either the target *or* the
host is 64-bit.  The assembler and linker code then expects that it is
being built for a 64-bit target, but the build system (rightly) obeys
the arch specification string and only builds elf32 targets in BFD.
