I was planning on staying "pure 64", but there are too many 32bit
programs that I want to compile and run, so I caved in and added 32bit
support.

Everyone else finding themselves doing the same?

F$@! Doing that broke my sh$!

I can't even do a simple slackbuild now.

"C compiler cannot create executables"

What kind of BS is this?

Example:

(xbill, first stupid little program that came to mind to use as example)

# ./xbill.SlackBuild

[everything extracts ok]

checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc -O2 -march=i486 -mtune=i686 )
works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler
cannot create executables.
