In fact, I have, after sleeping over it, come to the conclusion that, asides from distro-specific tools like dpkg, the compiler targetting the system on which the program is built is the ONLY tool exactly knowing what the build system is, so I believe, now more strongly than before, that CC_FOR_BUILD is correct here. > > For --host= checking the compiler is an absolute must, > > though. --target= must be manually passed, so that’s > > indeed not needing consideration. > > The --host is used to specify the unique build system set to use for a > cross build environment.

You seem to not understand what I write and insist on giving me a rundown of the build/host/target flags. Let me tl;dr for you: • --target= is orthogonal to the x32 detection problem, because, if it differs from the other tuples, it must be given by hand anyway • --host= must check the (possibly cross) compiler • --build= after much consideration also must check the (not-cross) compiler bye, //mirabilos -- tarent solutions GmbH Rochusstraße 2-4, D-53123 Bonn • http://www.tarent.de/ Tel: +49 228 54881-393 • Fax: +49 228 54881-235 HRB 5168 (AG Bonn) • USt-ID (VAT): DE122264941 Geschäftsführer: Dr. Stefan Barth, Kai Ebenrett, Boris Esser, Alexander Steeg ************************************************* **Besuchen Sie uns auf der EuroCIS!** 27.
