gcc tries to build the 64bit multilib on the 32bit IRIX 6.5.

["H . J . Lu" <hjl at lucon dot org>]

I have been wondering why the 64bit binaries generated during the gcc
3.x build won't run on my Indigo 2 running IRIX 6.5:

# uname -a
IRIX suzhou 6.5 05190003 IP22 mips

I have to use

# ...../configure --disable-multilib ....

to bootstrap gcc 3.x. I guess I know why now. It is because my IRIX 6.5
is 32bit. My question is why gcc tries to configure multilib for my
32bit IRIX.

    Indy and Challenge S under Irix are 32 bits.

to verify just run `uname`

if it returns "IRIX" == 32 bit
if "IRIX64" == 64 bit.
