Checking $CFLAGS could also be used. So now my -config script becomes something like: case `uname -p` in ppc|i386|...) exec foo-config-32 "$@";; *) exec foo-config-64 "$@";; esac which isn't really something I could take to upstream either. (And given that it doesn't work without setarch *anyway*, well... I'd argue, why not just use chroots in the first place and avoid putting ten zillion ugly hacks into the distro?) joe
