Hi, Greg. |

Assembly code is not portable between x86 and amd64, in general. |
| 21 |
Anything including assembler will need to have two copies of it. If |
| 22 |
there's only one copy, then this program won't build in 64-bit, and you |
| 23 |
will need to build it 32-bit. This can be done; It generally amounts to |
| 24 |
adding -m32 to CFLAGS and convincing any configure-type scripts that |
| 25 |
it's on a 32-bit system. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
If there *is* 64-bit assembly, then it's probably just a matter of |
| 28 |
passing the correct flags to the configuration system to get it to |
| 29 |
realize it's building on an amd64 box. |
