Hi all ,

I'm hoping that someone on here might have previously encountered the
problem I'm now trying to solve, ergo trying to modify the autoconf
scripts to support the building of a 31 bit target on a 64 bit machine -
the compiler on the host does take the -m31 option, but autoconf seems
to only recognise multiples of 4 bits - I could be and probably am,
wrong in making this inference.

For general cross-compilation we just set extra-cflags to pass things like this through; and don't set the --with-target-bits option.

Aside: I would think that supporting 31-bit would require a huge number of changes to the sources (unless it is somehow masked by the C/C++ compiler.
