We don't yet support building any 32-bit apps on a 64-bit system. I have some changes to GCC I need to finish. We also need to start installing the 32-bit headers and .a's. And this is just for the base system. If you want to build a 32-bit package under a 64-bit OS, you also need to have two copies of gtk, gettext, libiconv, etc... installed. It turns into a mess. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
