How do you get gnu gcc to build a 64 bit binary compiler?


I've got two gcc-3.4.6 source directories. And am compiling the first
with
../configure -with-arch-64=cpu --with-tune-64=cpu --with-cpu-64=cpu
in order to make a 64 bit capable gcc compiler ready and able to
compile
the second source directory with the same configure line (albeit with
a
different destination and install directory) in order to end up with a
64 bit
gcc compiler.


The problem is that both compilations produce the same result, a 32
bit gcc
/usr/local/bin/gcc: ELF 32-bit LSB executable 80386 Version 1 [FPU],
dynamically linked, not stripped




Below is a list of compile options for gnu gcc

I suggest you try a group about gcc -- that's where the gcc experts will
be.

Literally that line? The documentation suggests you should say

./configure -with-arch-64=i386 --with-tune-64=i386 --with-cpu-64=i386

in order to make a 64 bit capable gcc compiler ready and able to
compile
the second source directory with the same configure line (albeit with

Like gnu.gcc.help.
