By the way, for the case of an amd64 chroot on an i386 host system, we'll deal with this by just creating a native amd64 chroot; this is our only option because there's no i386-to-amd64 cross-compiler as such in the archive (and "gcc -m64" is a somewhat different kettle of fish that requires explicit build system support). This is perfectly workable, but only if you've taken special measures to install a 64-bit kernel on the i386 system so that it can execute 64-bit binaries.
I suspect that this is a fairly niche case; i386 chroot on amd64 host will likely be rather more common. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1319153 Title: Fails to create x86 chroot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/click/+bug/1319153/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
