Package: gcc-4.7-multilib
Version: 4.7.0-1
Severity: normal
Dear gcc maintainer,
Since version 4.7 gcc is able to produce x32 binaries. Unfortunately
this feature is not currently usable in Debian sid.
$ cat true.c
int main(void) { return 0; }
$ gcc-4.7 true.c # everything works
$ gcc-4.7 -m32 true.c # same
$ gcc-4.7 -mx32 true.c

The expected behaviour would have been the creation of a x32 a.out
executable ELF binary.
I do not expect this issue to have a trivial solution. There are
multiple issues:
1) A x32 version of libgcc is missing.
2) A x32 version of libc is missing. This will require changes to glibc.
3) A wrong search path is used. The first part of the architecture
triplet should be x32 instead of x86_64.
Helmut
