There was none, as there is no problem. ELDK 3.1.1 (and later versions) runs fine on x86_64 hosts, assuming you're using any sane Linux distribution. For example: -> ppc_8xx-gcc -v Reading specs from /opt/eldk-3.1.1/usr/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/ppc-linux/3.3.3/specs Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --disable-checking --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit --with-newlib --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-libgcj --host=i386-redhat-linux --target=ppc-linux Thread model: posix gcc version 3.3.3 (DENX ELDK 3.1.1 3.3.3-9) ------------------------^^^^^^^^^^ -> uname -a Linux pollux.denx.de 2.6.10-1.771_FC2smp #1 SMP Mon Mar 28 01:05:47 EST 2005 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux -----------------------------------------------------------------------------^^^^^^ -> cat /etc/issue Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang) ... > package rpm-4.1.1-1.8xa_10 is intended for a i386 architecture Your Linux distro is kind of broken. > The details on my system are: ... > Welcome to SUSE LINUX 10.1 (X86-64) - Kernel \r (\l). Yes, SuSE has always found interesting ways to break compatibility. That's why I avoid it. IIRC, SuSE provides a special tool "linux32" which has to be used to run 32-bit applications on a x86_64 system. Don't ask me why they need it. Other distros run the 32-bit applications just fine without such intricacy.
