Subject: add etc/PROBLEMS entry for building 32-bit exe on 64-bit system
Date: Mon, 08 Jan 2007 20:44:58 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ex3b6lezxh.fsf@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
I suggest adding something like the following to etc/PROBLEMS and
etc/TODO. I not infrequently want to compile 32-bit apps on 64-bit
systems (so that they can be run on otherwise identical 64- and 32-bit
systems).

Emacs's configure script.

+
+ For example, if CFLAGS=-m32 is passed to configure, the resulting

+ building on a 64-bit platform, you must build a 64-bit executable.

Building Emacs 22 with Cygwin builds of GCC 3.4.4-1 and 3.4.4-2 is
