Looking at the original example, Kate, what exactly were you confused about? If it was the "/../lib64" suffix, those are added _after_ the list of directories to search are decided. They're added when we consider whether the user asked for -m32 or -m64 (see multilib in the documentation).
Much thanks for the explanation. This is precisely what was confusing me. Is there a gcc debug option (or another way) to determine if gcc is defaulting to -m32 or -m64 mode? Or what I really want, the _actual_ search libraries - with "/../lib64" if in -m64 mode? The reason I ask is that libtool (or more precisely the m4 macro AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER in libtool.m4) uses "gcc -print-search-dirs" to set sys_lib_search_path_spec. But if gcc is in -m64 mode but -print-search-dirs is only listing -m32 libraries, then bad things happen later on. Kate Minola University of Maryland, College Park
