Hi,

Can someone tell me if the i386 one is to be used when we want to build for a 32bit machine and the x86_64 is to be used for 64 bit machine?


i386 or 32-bit machines?   i think it don't exists anymore, but what likely is correct: i386-compatible machine.

The i386 config is for 32-bit OS, ie, the entire binaries must be build for 32-bit architecture.

So choose the correct config provided u have the correct userspace files/libraries to support it.
 

Thanks,

Rajat
