>You are using a compiler generating 32-bit code with an assembler that defaults to expecting 64-bit code.  You need to use an assembler which defaults to 32-bit mode, or tell your compiler to pass -32 to the assembler.

Well - the question is then whether the xgcc command uses the AS specified assembler (/usr/local/i686-linux-gnu/bin/i686-linux-gnu-as)  - or the default assembler on the system (GNU assembler version 2.20.51.0.2 (x86_64-redhat-linux) using BFD version version 2.20.51.0.2-5.11.el6 20091009).

Is there a way to make sure, that the one in /usr/local/i686-linux-gnu/bin/i686-linux-gnu-as will be used?

I have tried to build for x86_64 instead, but in this case the make fails with:
