Looks like "rootcint" is calling GCC without the "-m32" flag and "/usr/bin/ld" tries to link against the 64-bit runtime library (libfrtbegin.a).

To be extra user friendly, it (rootcint or Makefile) hides the actual GCC command line, so it is hard to tell what it going on there.

But perhaps I am confused - it looks as if "rootcint" generates the dictionary source file and immediately call GCC to compile it. That used to be 2 different steps in the Makefile and it was easy to add "-m32" to the right place to fix it.

If rootcint invokes GCC directly, it should accept the "-m32/-m64" switch and pass it to GCC as we cannot read the user mind to tell how they want things to be compiled.
