Hi, I'm trying to compile a set of i586 kernel rpms on a x86_64 host running SuSE 10.1(x86_64). I'm using the kernel-source-2.6.16.27-0.9.i586.rpm for the sources and compile them with "make ARCH=i386..." Works file for the kernels/modules, but generating the stuff for my kernel-source.rpm I call make ARCH=i386 O=/root/tmp/kernel/usr/src/linux-2.6.16-6suse-bio-obj/i386/default scripts which results in e.g. gcc -Wp,-MD,scripts/basic/.docproc.d -Iscripts/basic -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o scripts/basic/docproc /root/tmp/kernel/usr/src/linux-2.6.16-6suse-bio/scripts/basic/docproc.c and I end up with "ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64" files: ...i386/default/scripts/basic/docproc: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.4, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.4, not stripped So I get a kernel-source.i586.rpm that I can't install on a i586 host due to these binaries. All other stuff like the modules or the kernel are compiled with "gcc -m32", but that -m32 is missing here. When I call make HOSTCC="gcc -m32" scripts ... I get 32bit binaries, but I'm not sure if that's the right way to do it. Is there any reason why "make scripts" ignores the ARCH parameter? Is there a better fix than the "HOSTCC=.." call? cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.
