[Gems-users] Failing to make Ruby

[Jiří Šimša <jiri.simsa@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I am trying to build GEMS following the "Quickstart" at the Wiki. I
have obtained and installed x86-linux distribution of Simics 3.0.22.
Although the machine I am trying to build GEMS is x86_64-linux, I have
change the script calc_host.sh to identify my host as "x86-linux" and
added "-m32" flag to both the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS. That way I am able
to successfully built 32-bit Ruby closure on my machine. However, when
the process of making progress pass that point I get the following
error:

Template closure done

I have little idea as to what went wrong and why. Can someone please
clarify the error and hopefully offer a solution? Thanks!

Best,
