I recently got a new amd64 machine and worked on getting parrot running, which was fairly simple. Then I wanted to get a 32 bit version built for testing as well, and cross comparison. However, a few problems were encountered. The first was that on freebsd, archname is amd64-freebsd and doesn't contain x86_64. A quick patch led to horrible failure on configure. Attached is a patch that will allow parrot to successfully configure parrot for 32 bits on a 64 bit platform. Now, parrot will not compile. The first problem is in src/exec_save.c, in that R_386_32 and R_386_PC32 are not defined. Right now, it takes 'perl Configure.pl --m=32 --execcapable=0' to configure parrot and get past exec_save.c, it fails at compilers/imcc/imcparser.c with "compilers/imcc/imcparser.c:885: error: conflicting types for 'malloc'" WRT the patch, it changes it to modify flags instead of the compiler, since at least for freebsd, cxx is hardcoded to g++ for some reason, ignoring any previous modification. I have no clue how(or if) it will affect linux on amd64(or x86_64 as they like it).
