Can I direct someone's attention to the annoying but easy to fix bug: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=gnu/96570 There are still a few days left to make sure, FreeBSD-6.1 is shipped with amd64 being able to link 32-bit executables. Release Engineers insist, it must be fixed in current first... Thanks! -mi
Sorry incase any of you else are interested.

This will fix linking. So its not a problem.

This was originally mentioned in amd64/76224 which was closed by obrien with the
terse remark: "We don't yet support building 32-bit apps on a 64-bit
system. We
only barely support *running* them at this point."
Really this deserves an errata mention at the very least. It just simply
isn't intuitive that this functionality would be missing from a tier-1
release.

I know it does because I've used it on my laptop a while ago, running FreeBSD/amd64. It's dead now so I can verify this works in all cases, but it seemed to solve this for me a couple of months ago.
