However... CC='gcc -m32' CXX='g++ -m32' ./configure -with-arch=nocona --with-tune=generic --build=i686-apple-darwin10 --host=i686-apple-darwin10 --target=i686-apple-darwin10 should work. You also could use just... CC='gcc -m32' CXX='g++ -m32' ./configure -with-arch=nocona --with-tune=generic since config.guess would detect the target as i386-apple-darwin10 but would likely be less optimized. Jack
