[EMBOSS] Build -m32 on 64 bit host, problems

[David Mathog]

Trying again to compile Emboss 6.3.1.  Attempting to build 32 bit
versions as most of the target machines run that, however, the compiler
is running on a 64 bit OS.

Download 6.3.1, unpack, apply 1-4 patch.  Then in top level:

export CFLAGS="-march=athlon-mp -m32"
./configure --prefix=/usr/common

which all went fine, except that:

grep m32 Makefile
CFLAGS = -march=athlon-mp -m32  -O2  -DNO_AUTH -D__amd64__

I don't see how to reconcile __amd64__ with the other flags.  Is there
some switch that can be thrown in ./configure to correct this?  Note, I
really do want the 32 bit version even on the 64 bit system, so that all
of the machines will be running exactly the same version.

Thanks,
