This breaks the building of testmain in sys/boot/ficl at least as -m32 doesnt seem to be well supported until now on amd64. Wouldn't is be possible to switch to 64bit long mode in the boot0 loader and building the /boot/loader using the amd64 native formats? (Like the way we switch to protected mode in btx) (I'm trying to use and upgrade our ficl loader BTW) BTW2: Our sys/boot hierarchy isn't very intuitive to start with...
