When I try to compile a simple C program with -march=i686, I get the following error:

cc1: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set

I have gcc-32bit installed.

Try gcc -m32 -march=i686 Without the -m32, GCC trys to create a 64 bit executable. -- Bernd Paysan "If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself" http://www.jwdt.com/~paysan/

I still need to develop 32bit applications on my x86_64 system. Many RPMs are available as xxx-32bit-yyy.x86_64.rpm which are configured differently compared to the native xxx.i586.rpm

Unfortunately I'm missing a 32bit Xerces-c-2.6.0-3 rpm Is there any documentation/faq/howto generate/configure such a rpm to fit into the SuSE 64bit library system?

Quite a while since I've used it, but "linux32" and "CC=gcc -m32" I remember, just a bit hazy right now about exactly what I did, I'd have to try building something from sources in order to give full details.
