It should be as good as the native i386 build, provided that the entire build framework is sane and free of bugs. It's the primary reason why i386 -devel packages and their dependencies are provided in the x86_64 repo. > ../../dist/bin/xpidl -m header -w -I. -I../../dist/idl -o > _xpidlgen/nsIComponentManagerObsolete nsIComponentManagerObsolete.idl > nsIClassInfo.idl > ../../dist/bin/xpidl -m header -w -I. -I../../dist/idl -o > _xpidlgen/nsIClassInfo nsIClassInfo.idl > gmake[4]: *** [_xpidlgen/nsIClassInfo.h] Error 1 > gmake[4]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... > gmake[4]: Leaving directory > `/home/pauljohn/LinuxDownloads/redhat/BUILD/mozilla/xpcom/components' It only shows that gmake exits.
