"make toolchains" downloads 64bit tools even for 32bit Ubuntu build machine about build HOT 6 CLOSED

From what I know we have only been building the code using 64-bit OS. I guess it would be possible to download toolchains built for 32-bit environments and patch our current build system. Having that said it's nothing that we have on our radar for the moment. Do you think you could have a look at it and see whether you could come up with a patch for us?

Thank you! I got your point! I will think about that in advance!
Anyway, this is an issue and it will be open until fixed and closed by me or someone else...

@P1119r1m Try the 32bit tools below. They might just work.

toolchain.mk
SRC_AARCH64_GCC

SRC_AARCH32_GCC

LEGACY_SRC_AARCH64_GCC

If the above doesn't work, maybe try older versions below as well.

@vchong Thanks for your advice, but probably the easiest way is to use 64bit OS. Moreover, recently, while resolving problems during installation of some auxiliary software packages, my VitrualBox OS had crashed :(

We are closing this issue/question, why?

• We believe the question has been answered.
• Quite often when we have answered the questions, the issuer forget to close the issue which results in many open issues for us which makes it hard to keep track of the ones actually waiting for an answer.
• In some cases we ask follow-up questions, but do not hear back from the one creating the issue.

If you however feel that you have additional questions or still thinks this is an issue, then please feel free to re-open the issue again. When closing issues we will only show this entire message once.
