Compile gcc from source on a 64 bit OS ?

[Hsieh, Pei-Ying (MED US)]

Dear GCC developers/experts:

I need to compile gcc from source on a 64 bit linux OS (Ubuntu and
OpenSuSE).  After scanning through the installation procedures and
manual, it is not clear to me how to do this on a 64 bit OS (default
seems to be for 32 bit OS, using -m32).  It will be highly appreciated
if you can shed some light on this.  Thanks!

Best Regards,

Pei
