Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run a 32 bit tool 2. 3. Actual results:ld -r -m elf_i386 -o pre_vcsobj_1_1.o --whole-archive pre_vcsobj_1_1.a --no-whole-archive if [ -x ../simv ]; then chmod -x ../simv; fi g++ -o ../simv -melf_i386 -m32 -Wl,-whole-archive -Wl,-no-whole-archive SIM_l.o 5NrI_d.o 5NrIB_d.o pre_vcsobj_1_1.o rmapats_mop.o rmapats.o /tools/vcs_g_2012/linux/lib/libnplex_stub.so /tools/vcs_g_2012/linux/lib/libvirsim.so /tools/vcs_g_2012/linux/lib/librterrorinf.so /tools/vcs_g_2012/linux/lib/libsnpsmalloc.so /tools/vcs_g_2012/linux/lib/libvcsnew.so /tools/vcs_g_2012/linux/lib/libuclinative.so /tools/vcs_g_2012/linux/lib/vcs_save_restore_new.o /tools/vcs_g_2012/linux/lib/ctype-stubs_32.a -ldl -lm -lc -lpthread -ldl g++: error: unrecognized command line option '-melf_i386' make: *** [product_timestamp] Error 1 Expected results: Proper running of the tool. Additional info:
The tool is buggy then. -melf_i386 is a linker command line option, not compiler, so you need to use -Wl,-melf_i386 (or nothing at all, for g++ -m32 on i?86/x86_64 that is the default).
