I have been having this problem since 2001 on SuSE or openSUSE. For some reason, GCC's build machinery does not want to detect at configuration type that there is no stub-32.h file, therefore there is absolutely no point in trying to do a multilib which would fail. I have to provide explicitly --disable-multilib; like you, I think we should not have to do that. -- Gaby
