Error when cross-compiling for 64-bit Linux

[Stephen Kent]

I'm running 32-bit Gentoo Linux, and I'm trying to compile ncurses for 64-bit using a crossdev environment. This has worked in the past with ncurses 5.7-r7, but ncurses 5.9 fails to compile at make_hash. i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc says "error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set."

I've made a post about this on the Gentoo Forums as well, with some more details ( http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-914814.html ).

I can't figure out what's wrong. Does anyone have any ideas? Let me know if you need more information.

Thanks,

Stephen
