can't the current gcc generate 64 bit code for the opteron?
What did you understand with "current"? The binaries on SuSE Linux 8.2 cannot generate this code, like the bianries cannot generate SPARC or PowerPC Code, too. AMD64 is a different architecture and you would need a cross compiler.

I just figured that the gcc-3.3 had support in it already to generate 64 bit code for the opteron. What gcc revision can or will do this? I'm getting one of these this week and get to play with it for 90 days. I would sure like to be able test everything in true 64 bit mode also. I tried to get on the beta list for 9.0 but was ignored.
