BTW, i am curious about this. How does the i386/amd64 toolchain differ from
the powerpc/powerpc64 one ? On powerpc, it is enough to specify -m32 or -m64
to build the respective 32bit or 64bit code. Is this not the case on
i386/amd64 ? If not, why, and would a solution like the powerpc one be
possible ?
