You guessed correctly. :) $ getconf LONG_BIT 32 $ grep " lm" /proc/cpuinfo || echo no no $ file ./setarch ./setarch: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.24, BuildID[sha1]=0x830fc9635dbe83defa4db7b0b5db241093d4c86d, not stripped So... setarch --list shouldn't be mentioning x86_64 nor ia64 here?
