By default you don't get 64-bit builds. If you do not install libc6-dev-sparc64. Dave didn't like this, but it's a compromise we came to just because of this very point. Even if you install libc6-dev-sparc64, you can override the default easily by doing "touch /etc/disable_64_gcc". Sure it needs to be documented, in the release notes for sarge. -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://www.linux1394.org/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ WatchGuard - http://www.watchguard.com/
