Error on compiling musl for i386.

Error on compiling musl for i386.

[John Found]

Hello all!

It is about musl v1.1.14

I am trying with:

#./configure --host=i386
#make

But get the following error:

sed -f ./tools/mkalltypes.sed ./arch/i386/bits/alltypes.h.in ./include/alltypes.h.in > obj/include/bits/alltypes.h

{standard input}:15: Error: operand type mismatch for `push'
Makefile:151: recipe for target 'obj/crt/Scrt1.o' failed
make: *** [obj/crt/Scrt1.o] Error 1


What I am doing wrong? 

Notice: My C/C++ programming skills are close to zero, so please explain simple. :)

Best Regards

I think your gcc is a compiler for some arch other than i386, probably
x86_64. Using --host=i386 forces configure to assume you're telling it
the right arch and suppresses auto-detection. If this is the problem,
you can either set CC to a cross-compiler when invoking configure, or
try CC="gcc -m32".

I have some ideas for making this more foolproof in the future.

Exactly! CC="gcc -m32" fixed the issue and it compiles and installs fine. 
I know about -m32 option, but I though it will be set by the ./configure script
when I set --host=i386, because there is no 64bit i386 processors.

So, you are right that it needs some fixing, especially for such noobs as me. ;)
