So it doesn?t create a full i386 compiler, etc. It just uses the amd64 one with special flags/args. So I don?t think it requires a full-fledged cross-build environment, or I misunderstand what you mean by that phrase. > We install the headers for the MACHINE_ARCH into the compat32 build tree, > and use them instead of the target MACHINE headers.

It was always pointless on PowerPC and MIPS, since they share the same headers anyway, and is probably also now unnecessary on x86 now that regular -m32 works. I don't think ia64 builds lib32 (which would require a real cross-compiler). -Nathan
