Shouldn't configure in gcc be made to
automatically test if -m64 is working on
the build machine in question and automatically
invoke --disable-multilib if not? Currently
on Darwin for example we have to explicitly
invoke --disable-multilib when building on
G4's or non-EMT64 Macintel machines. It would
much better if configure would automatically
handle this.
I believe trying to disable the multilib is fundamentally the wrong
approach. I have posted a patch which I believe is the correct
approach to the automake list, where it is awaiting review.
