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. -- David Huggins-Daines, Senior Linux Consultant, Linuxcare, Inc. 613.562.1239 tel dhuggins@linuxcare.com, http://www.linuxcare.com/ Linuxcare.
