You wrote in #379090:
"Without that flag the build tries to use x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc, which
is not available on i386. Only gcc -m64 is."
Well, why isn't this changed, then? A small script on i386 like:
----- /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc -----
#!/bin/sh
exec `basename $0 | cut -f 4 -d -` -m64 "$@"
-----------------------------------------
with links from others should be not problem and would remove all special
cases.
Simply fake the cross-compilation and you have no special case anymore. This
might also be good for other situations where you want to compile for amd64
on i386 but must omit the runtime checks.
