Bug 125620 shows similar error: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `cmpxchg'
Why is this assigned to amd64?
(In reply to comment #4) > Why is this assigned to amd64? > I also wondered why it had been assigned to amd64. Incidentally, as with Bug 125620 - changing CHOST to i686-pcu-linux-gnu gets rid of the build error.
Wow. Your system is *messed* up... Why are you using an x86 profile and an amd64 CHOST? The fact that your system works at all is amazing. You need to fix your CHOST (or your profile) to match. Your system is capable of being "amd64" but what you've got now is just an abomination. ;] My suggestion would likely be to simply reinstall and keep your CHOST equal to your profile setting. The "best" x86 CHOST is i686-pc-linux-gnu where the best amd64 is x86_64-pc-linux-gnu If you are still having trouble after either reinstalling, or fixing your CHOST and recompiling your system entirely, please feel free to REOPEN this bug.
