Yes, this sounds right. Note that your value of -XP should always be non-empty on Debian - even when building natively. Doing so allows using e.g. binutils-i686-linux-gnu:amd64 and thus linking objects that would exceed the address space of 32bit. My offer to continue working on this and sending patches is still active despite the delay. Helmut
