gcc48: multilib support

[barto@…]

I'm trying to compile code that must interact with a 3rd party 32 bit library, and I can't link it because -m32 is not supported in the latest gcc48 compiler. ​http://www.spinics.net/lists/gcchelp/msg36767.html indicates that when compiling and the error about 128 bit support appears it is due to not enabling multilib. Checking the specs on gcc48 shows:

nomultidefs

and multilib is empty for all instances

*multilib:
. ;
*multilib_defaults:
*multilib_extra:
*multilib_matches:
*multilib_exclusions:
*multilib_options:
*multilib_reuse:

When linking for 32 bits I get the following error:

linking libmvpgemcomm32.so.7.0.0
ld: warning: ignoring file /opt/local/lib/gcc48/libstdc++.dylib, file was built for unsupported file format ( 0xcf 0xfa 0xed 0xfe 0x 7 0x 0 0x 0 0x 1 0x 3 0x 0 0x 0 0x 0 0x 6 0x 0 0x 0 0x 0 ) which is not the architecture being linked (i386): /opt/local/lib/gcc48/libstdc++.dylib

The code I'm using requires (now) the gcc std=c++11 code (mutex, condition_variable, futures, etc) so I can't use the older clang compiler. Any suggestions on getting 32 bit support built into gcc48 from macports?

Installing gcc with +universal will get you a multilib build (#22116). Cf. #37463, #30240.
