n32 means 64bit wide registers and 32bit address space. It runs only on a 64bit kernel.


A bit off topic, but it reminded me nonetheless. Anyone trying to build a new version of procpcs (>3.4.2) under mips64 will likely need this patch.


Unsure what the reasoning behind this bit was in procps, but it assumes that n32 is usable on a mips64 system (atleast, my understanding of the conditional is that), and thus defines KLONG to long long on mips64, which breaks 'ps' on these systems (you get a nice sigsev).

Thought it'd be useful to pass along.
