A build of guile-1.8.8 on GNU/Linux AMD64 fails because the included libtool is overriding library paths, and supplying incorrect 32-bit paths:
% env CC=gcc CXX=g++ LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib64 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib64" ./configure && make ... libtool: link: gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Werror -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib64 -o gen-scmconfig gen-scmconfig.o -L/usr/local/lib64 /usr/local/lib/libgmp.so -lcrypt -lm /usr/local/lib64/libltdl.so -ldl -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib64 -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib64 /usr/local/lib/libgmp.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format collect2: ld returned 1 exit status I tried replacing -lgmp with /usr/local/lib64/libgmp.so in Makefiles, and that got somewhat further: % find . -name Makefile | xargs sed -i -e 's...@-lgmp@/usr/local/lib64/libgmp.so@' % make all check ...
