I just looked into this. It appears the bug only tickles when CFLAGS are set. ie: if CFLAGS are set in the environment, it guesses the wrong ABI when building 32-bit x86 on 64-bit AMD hardware (not sure about Intel). You can easily reproduce this by setting CFLAGS then running ./configure. Issue is exacerbated due to GMP's "tricked up" config.guess ie: $ ./config.guess athlon64-pc-linux-gnu $ /usr/share/libtool/config/config.guess i686-pc-linux-gnu $ /usr/share/automake-1.10/config.guess i686-pc-linux-gnu The CFLAGS aspect at least explains why everyone is not seeing this. > This implies Tobias has both a compiler and libc in chroot that are > able to handle -m64.
