Unable to build futility on 32-bit userspace - coreboot

31 Aug 2017


      Dear coreboot folks,
Trying to run `make test-abuild` on my system with a 32-bit userspace,
it looks like quite some boards require the program futility from
`util/futility`, but that fails to build with the error below.
```

I haven’t tested this yet with a 64-bit userspace, but assume that
works. Does somebody have a fix?
Thanks,
