Hi danm,

Hey,

I've played with CRUX64 this week and found out that the current gcc isn't able to produce 32bit binaries (--disable-multilib). Since we are using /lib32 instead of /lib for (32bit) libraries gcc needs to be patched. I've attached two ports that I am using at the moment. I had to use a SuSE (64bit) to build it, because of the missing libgcc_s_32.so in CRUX64's gcc.

Yes, I couldn't get gcc to compile w/out disable-multilib. I'll take a look at the port later tonight. One of the things I've not had time to work on is getting native 32-bit compatibility working, so if you've got it here, that's great! Looks like yesterday there was a whole bunch of base & opt updates -- I'll be checking out what that means for crux64, too. Previously I had simply repackaged the vanilla crux-2.1 glibc as glibc32 for crux64. Looks like you have a port here for a native build of glibc32 -- very nice!

Johannes sent me an interesting link yesterday: http://gcc.fyxm.net/summit/2003/Porting%20to%2064%20bit.pdf

Currently I'm working on a CRUX64 which is able to build 32bit applications natively. If someone is interested - I'll release my results at http://crux.danm.de (page is still empty :-).

I'd like to thank Jeremy for his work on CRUX64!

You're welcome! And I did see your recent e-mail about libpng -- not ignoring you, just busy. Had a Solaris disk array crash, taking an Oracle database along with it, so I've been busy (and tired), but I'll have time tonight. Thanks for your work, danm! Jeremy
