I admit it, I'm a hobbyist, so I don't really want to make use of ports.  The
fun's NOT in having everything handed to you, and the ports people try hard as
hell to prevent you from doing anything on your own.  My current project deals
with Xorg.  I recently finished getting Xorg and Xfree86 to build on my x86 box,
so I could compare the two.

Right now, I want to build xorg on the amd64 platform.  It seems that if I don't
supply the correct flags (which I don't know about) then the amd64 gcc gives me
64 bit apps & libraries.  What would the flags be, if I want to build 32 bit
things, both libs and  apps?  I'll worry about handling any other problems, I
just want to know the way to coax gcc (and gnu-ld) to think purely 32 bit.

Can you help me here?
