Hi,

I have an AMD64 proc, and use Slack since so many years... I don't plan
to change.
I try to make a slack 64, but with no success at the moment.

What I start to do is to install an Gentoo 64 to have a CC able to build
x86-64 binaries.
I compiled some packages, need to adapt some build files, but I am
unable to have a CC working ! it was compiled, but it doesn't work...

If you plan to try also, I'm ok to work on this (I think I am unable to
do it myself).

Marc.
