Hi,
does it mean that there is something broken in the concept of a Debian
port? When I install a "Debian Etch for powerpc" on my iMac G5, when I
want to backport a package from Sid by doing "apt-get source --build",
if I understand correctly, I am unintentionally cross-compiling ?
If you intend to run on that system, then I don't
think you are cross-compiling.
Running a 32-bit userspace on a 64-bit kernel is
however gross, foul, bad, nasty, and wrong.
This isn't Windows; we have source code and we
can recompile things to be fully native. Running
a hybrid system is just asking for breakage. There
are two obvious fixes, all 32-bit and all 64-bit.
If apt-get is called with the linux32 tool, does it suppress
cross-compiling ?
No. You still don't have a fully 32-bit system.
You need an emulator for that.
