I've built gettext — which uses libtool — on various bi-arch platforms with CC="gcc -m64" or CC="gcc -m32", and did not encounter such problems. > For 0.21 I have the failing test test-fopen-gnu, is this safe to ignore No, not really. Better apply this fix locally (in both files gettext-tools/gnulib-lib/fopen.c gettext-tools/libgettextpo/fopen.c ). https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commitdiff;h=5e50baa16ef90204d9048a9e2f23c5a538955121 Bruno
