The reason it dies just after starting is because __WORDSIZE isn't
being defined by anyone. I am not sure if it should be gcc or the c
library but somebody isn't doing his job.
In code/qcommon/vm_interpreted.c: unmodified: line 536 of 919 [58%]:
#if __WORDSIZE == 64
// the vm has ints on the stack, we expect
// longs so we have to convert it
intptr_t argarr[16];
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 16; ++i) {
argarr[i] = *(int*)&image[ programStack + 4 + 4*i ];
}
argptr = argarr;
#endif
BTW, commenting the preprocessor lines out and rebuilding and
reinstalling will allow amd64 users to play(at least skirmish is
working, I didn't try anything else) but that is not a fix. This is
the only time __WORDSIZE is used in the client but it is likely that
there are other bugs caused by undefined preprocessor constants.
