Higher up there are the compiler options, including -m32 $ /usr/bin/gcc --target-help | fgrep 32 -m32 Generate 32bit i386 code -mcrc32 Support code generation of crc32 instruction. -mpc Set 80387 floating-point precision (-mpc32, --32/--64 generate 32bit/64bit code generic32, generic64 generic32, generic64 To use --32 you'd need to pass it to the assembler with -Wa,--32 but that's unnecessary if you use -m32
