It is very much missing on : the FreeBSD. Having thought about it, I can see how we can make it work, so I withdraw my 'hack' statement. You're right. On Solaris and Linux, how well does autoconf cope with using CC="cc -m32"? I've had issues with similar constructs on MIPS to select diffrent word sizes or ABIs. : Merged x86 tree is ortoghonal to this feature. Yes, that's a much better way of saying what I was trying to say. Warner
