No. Not unless you're building something for sparc64 and linking against gcc libs. 99.99% of cases do not. > How should I compile gcc to enable > it to create both 32 and 64-bit files? Will I have to have a separate > 32 and 64-bit compiler, or will the same compiler do both? Red Hat/Fedora/Aurora gcc rpms are setup to build gcc compilers that can generate 32 and 64 bit files. The same compiler will do both gcc -m32 and gcc -m64. Binutils should also not require any special handling, it can do elf32_sparc and elf64_sparc. ~spot --- Tom "spot" Callaway <tcallawa(a)redhat*com> LCA, RHCE Red Hat Sales Engineer || Aurora SPARC Linux Project Leader "The author's mathematical treatment of the conception of purpose is novel and highly ingenious, but heretical and, so far as the present social order is concerned, dangerous and potentially subversive.
