RE: ELDK 3.1.1 support for x86_64 host architecture

From: <hidden>

Hi Wolfgang,

I have tried both an install and a build from scratch of v3.1.1;
both fail due to various scripting problems having to due with
unsupported HOST_ARCH of x86_64.

Below is a cut and paste of the install failure. I don't have
the build from scratch failure at the moment (but the initial failures =
were
in ELDK_BUILD and build.sh scripts; search ELDK_BUILD and
build.sh for uname -m and HOST_ARCH. You'll see what I mean :)

I've noticed that the ELDK build and install scripts do NOT
support x86_64 host architecture.
Which sort of host system is this (Processor(s), RAM, Linux =
distribution) ?
What support for x86_64 host architecture ever attempted
by anyone?
It works fine here on several Athlon / Opteron systems running Fedora
Core 2 and Fedora Core 3; for example:
