hi there,

I have tried to building LDC 1.20.1 from src for ubuntu 14.04 i686 system. But got trouble in the building step, it seems that it always trying to building runtime for  x86_64 target, no matter what kind of D compiler is using, I have tried with ldc2-1.2.0-linux-x86 or the latest dmd 2.091.0-0_i386.

I also tried to using the cross-compiling style to build runtime adding `mtrip=i686-linux-gnu`, but the final ldc2 failed to link when building a simple empty D source file saying

```
/usr/bin/i686-linux-gnu-ld.gold: error: /usr/lib/gcc/i686-linux-gnu/6/crtbegin.o: incompatible target

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

```

so, the ldc2 now is sticking to x86_64 for PC now?

Thanks!

PS:

building ldc 1.20.1 source just error in `ninja` step:

Of course not. With the little information you gave, it looks like the LLVM you use defaults to the x86_64 triple (can be configured via CMake when building LLVM), that's why you need -mtriple to build the libs, and later too when compiling any D file.

thank you. I just tried to set llvm default tripple to `i686-linux-gnu`, and when I trying to build ldc2, again failed with runtime building:

I don't know what's the real instructions for building an LDC for i686.  I'm using a docker env. with system image ubuntu 14.04 i386 arch and running on x86_64 archlinux host, is this my docker env causes such problems?


thanks!

finally I built my ldc2 1.20.1 by specify LLVM_DEFAULT_TARGET_TRIPLE=i686-pc-linux to LLVM10 rather than `i686-linux-gnu`.

but actually I really have an `i686-linux-gnu` GCC toolchain. I don't know what's reason but thanks very much to you experts!

Thanks!
