Building nbdkit (not a library) for i686 recently revealed a build problem on 32 bit platforms. i686 and armv7 are the only 32 bit platforms left. https://gitlab.com/nbdkit/nbdkit/-/commit/fe6538aafe5f8d6fc6b90ae8f6d3686c711288fd Martin: Can we add 32 bit to the upstream CI? You don't actually need a 32 bit environment to test it, you can do this instead: export CFLAGS="-g -O2 -m32" export CXXFLAGS="-g -O2 -m32" export LDFLAGS="-g -O2 -m32" ./configure make Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming and virtualization blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com Fedora Windows cross-compiler.
