With the curent CVS head I can only get a native 64-bit build to work 
using insight's own tcl/tk stuff. I am building on a 64-bit f12 and it 
works OK debugging a 64 bit c++ linux program. Even reg window seems OK.
I build like this from inside an build directory at same level as 
insight_sources:

../insight_sources/configure -v --quiet --prefix=$PREFIX
make
make install

However, this is all I can get to work. If I try to build a 32 bit 
insight on 64 bit f12, with insight's own tcl/tk, configured like this,

../insight_sources/configure -v --quiet --prefix=$PREFIX \
   CFLAGS="-m32" LDFLAGS="-m32"

I get this error:

If I try a native 64bit build with system tcl/tk like this,

   --with-tcl=/usr/lib64 --with-tk=/usr/lib64  --with-itcl=/usr/lib64 \
   --with-itk=/usr/lib64

I see this error:

Reg. window looks OK to me on 64-bit f12.

I tried the --enable-64-bit-bfd but it didn't help.

At this point can only get a native only build of CVS head with 
insight's own tk/tcl and it works. If I try to build 32-bit (on 64 bit 
system) or try to use system supplied tcl/tk, build fails. This seems 
independent of whether a native or cross build.

Thanks, but at least good old 6.8 still works :).
