Re: cvs commit: apache/src/helpers GuessOS
FWIW, auto detecting -n32 and then using it can be a hassle for people who
develop local modules/libraries and have them built -o32 still. I know I
was able to build an -n32 apache just by putting the -n32 in EXTRA_CFLAGS
and EXTRA_LDFLAGS. But we can see how it goes during the beta.

n32 is a new ABI with faster linkages to shared libs and better/faster
register conventions for function calls. The exact changes I'm not sure
of. It is better to use -n32, but if you want compatibility with IRIX 5.3
or you want to use any older libraries you need to use -o32.
I think there's an -o64 as well as a -n64 too, but I'm not sure. There's
definately a -n64.
One of them is the default on your O2, I don't know which. One of -n32 or
-n64 is likely.

OK, I've got an O2, so I should know, but I don't. What exactly do -n32,
-o32 and nothing actually do?
Cheers,
Ben.
