True enough. But we don't have anywhere close to a merged tree on x86, and won't for the foreseeable future. I don't really want to see an include32, when all the cross building tools exist in the tree already (see XDEV in Makefile.inc1)... If you are cross building, you really need a full cross building environment. The -m32 hacks we have now are, as you describe, insufficient to the task... Warner
