Re: Can I do 64-bit gcc compilation on 64-bit RedHat platform ?

yes

Well yes, sure, but I'm having difficulty in seeing how they managed
it without "fiddling" with the configuration ?

Maybe I'm just being dumb, I admit I'm not the sharpest tool in
the shed when it comes to autoconfigure, but looking inside
the ./configure script, 'do64bit_ok' is never set to 'yes' when
the compiler is gcc, and AFAIK gcc also requires the flag -m64
which I don't see being set anywhere ?

thanks for your patience,
