Re: rda build on x86_64


Hello Michael, Hui,

first off, my previous mail-Cc to msnyder at redhat.com bounced
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gdb.patches/51142>;
time to update the entry in rda/MAINTAINERS (which is where I got the
email address from)?

Thanks; however, that is

- neither convenient for users not knowing they need a special option to
  disable rda,

- not an option for me when I want to update autotools inside rda or sid.
  I *need* a way to be able to build *all* parts of the tree (ideally
  as many as possible together in as few build trees as possible), in
  order to be able to test changes to the build system.

If you tell me the latter is simply not possible on x86_64, then I can
go to i686-pc-linux-gnu; that seems to work.

Cheers,
Ralf
