Cross building for the same sized longs, maybe. But _all_ platforms, I doubt it! I just tried building binutils on FreeBSD/i386 with both elf32 and elf64. From what I can see from the compiled warnings (and the resulting assertions), the elf64 code is not intended for use on any architecture where sizeof(long) < 8. Now, building elf32 and elf64 on FreeBSD/Alpha is more realistic. But how much GNU relies on host variables sized the same way as target variables, I'm not sure. If objdump on alpha can disassemble an i386 aout object, I'll concede that it works. Anyone care to place bets? 8-) -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
