I'd think that ideally you'd want one configuration that works with both -m32 and -m64 (so the only difference between i686-interix and x86_64-interix is which is the default), though I don't know how practical that is. Anyway, as long as only one Interix version is supported by GCC the distinction between "Interix" and "Interix 3" headers is meaningless. -- Joseph S. Myers jos...@codesourcery.com
