Would you be able to tell me a FC3 rpm that you are able to rebuild
successfully? I am experiencing a similar issue. I made a minimal
install of FC3 on an amd64 box and have since installed the needed
rpms for building ix86 rpms, but I cannot.

I can compile my own c programs correctly with '-m32' but all srpms I
try, even RedHat built stock FC3 srpms, fail to build. I am trying to
find out if I am having bad luck in picking the "incorrect ones" or if
something is awry with the box.

I thought that maybe it was just a misconfiguration, but all of the
things that I thought might remedy that don't seem to help.

I have run libgcc_post_upgrade, ldconfig etc and rebooted to no avail.

Thank you,
