Stupid, but not inconsistent. AMD developed the 64 bit instructions set so it is correctly amd64. Intel developed the 32 bit instruction set so they can call it what they want it to be, which is x86. Now, as for CHOST. Well, that comes from Red Hat who are deeply involved in glibc and gcc and they insist that the OneAndOnlyTrueName(tm) is x86_64. Red Hat are flat out wrong of course, but that doesn't stop them punting their wrong idea and shoving it into the toolchain when we regular schmucks have to deal with it. So now you know. The stupid ones are very very consistent in their stupidity. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

At this minute I don't have a second thought :( I did a bit of googlin and the only thing I can think of is to make sure gcc is pointing correctly. That would be gcc-config -l and that is a little L or short for list. I mention in case you are a bit new. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-)
