Hmm no, I wouldn't know, really. Does Alpha have a 32 bit mode anyway ? I know sparc does. Let's see .. what 64 bit archs do we have: ** ALPHA Linux escher 2.6.18-6-alpha-smp #1 SMP Mon Feb 11 10:15:54 UTC 2008 alpha [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ vi hello.c [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cc -Wall -o hello64 hello.c [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cc -Wall -m32 -o hello32 hello.c cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-m32" ** HPPA Can't test it, no public developer machine available. ** SPARC Can't test it, no public developer machine available. However this appears to be a 32 bit distribution with extra 64 bit support. I think packages are built in 32 bit mode by default ? ** IA64 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cc -Wall -o hello64 hello.c [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cc -Wall -m32 -o hello32 hello.c cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-m32" ** AMD64 We know this works. As far as I can check, only amd64 has support for compiling and running 32-bit programs on a 64-bit platform. Mike. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
