HI,

I again thougt on your problem and it is definitely the Redhat
won't run SuSE syndrom.

There is absolutely no binary compatibility on Linux. Don't ever
expect a binary not compiled on your machine to run  correctly.

The obvious indicator for the problem in your case is that
'smake' believes that XARCH=3Di686-linux-cc is a _target_ name 
and not an option to set a make macro.

This is caused by the fact that the libc on your system tells smake
that '=' is a (upper/lowercase) character :-( and not a a punctuation 
character (which would be right).

This is either caused by innocent people who don't know what a binary
interface is and who think that they may put some personal flavor
in the local libc binary ... or by some kind of war between different
Linux distributions.

Decide by your own what you like to believe.....

I did  not get the answer for this question.
