What x86 userspace? I was curious about Lenny, so I downloaded it and 
installed it. There's a handful of 32-bit libs in /lib32 and 
/usr/lib32/, but /lib64 is a symlink to /lib and all the binaries in 
/bin and /usr/bin are 64-bit. So, gcc by default builds 64-bit binaries, 
there's no need to pass -m64.

In any case, I did see the same error you did about the unrecognizable 
format with ld.

I also started a build on Ubuntu Dapper (don't have Feisty installed 
anywhere just now) just to see how that would go. I've already gotten 
past the point of error on the Debian system and it's still moving forward.
