Apologies for causing confusion. I only meant run the chroot command with linux32, not the host OS which is 64bit. I have found this approach to be very reliable for building 32bit binaries on a 64bit host. The only thing I still build on the 32bit PC itself is the kernel, more out of habit I guess. -- Regards, Mick
