Hey,
I am Rohit and interested in being a part of the strace community,
through gsoc.
I was trying to build strace from source and while running the configure
script I faced this error:
"
checking for m32 personality compile support (using gcc -I. -m32)... no
checking whether to enable m32 personality support... no
configure: error: Cannot enable m32 personality support
"
I am running a x86_64 system and using gcc as my compiler.
On doing some googling I found this thread: [1]
Adding the --disable-mpers flag to the configure script seemed to work.
(Need to figure out what is this mpers now!)
Aha: Found this [2]. I read up a bit about the Multiple Personality
feature and it seems super cool.
I presume my compiler doesn't have mpers support, but I think in this
case the configure script should either not fail or give an informative
error message asking to run the script with --disable-mpers.
Thanks,
Rohit
