Hi,
I am interested in this because I want to know why -m32 fails ?
Is it just a gcc version issue ???

Yes, I found this

But nothing of interest to me in it.
For the record on an itanium with -m32 in the gcc man page, gcc -m32 failed:
gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-52)
Linux ipf-login1 2.4.21-sgi306rp21 #1 SMP Thu Oct 13 18:51:34 EDT 2005 ia64 ia64 ia64 GNU/Linux
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 5)

I only found this hit which does not offer an explaination:

Option wise -mabi=32 from the MIPS section of the gcc man page
will result in 32 bit ints, longs, and pointers.
Another approach is to remove all occurrences of
mmtsb_client.o
from the sander Makefile.
Since you did not configure with mmtsb, mmtsb_client.o does not have
anything useful in it.
