Re: [Xen-users] Using 32bit Debian /w 64bit DomU kernel on Xen3.0.0

[tbrown@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Thanks for the post. I just ran into this myself.

I'll see if I can build a statically compiled iptables binary in a 64 bit
system...

hhmm, that actually seems to work...  at least I get output from

   iptables -L -n

for anyone following, get the iptables tarball from netfilter.org,
read the INSTALL file to get the following to parameters to make
NO_SHARED_LIBS=1 DO_MULTI=1

and do it...

   make NO_SHARED_LIBS=1 DO_MULTI=1

the resulting iptables binary seems to run in my old (redhat 7.2) 32 bit
user space... note that the linking step produces warnings like

   warning: Using 'getaddrinfo' in statically linked applications requires at
   runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking

so obviously full functionality (that looks like dns type
hostname correction) isn't present, but it looks to me like as
long as you name all the ip addresses and services, it will work
fine.

e.g. I can fix these:

   iptables v1.3.4: invalid TCP port/service `smux' specified
   iptables v1.3.4: host/network `overload1' not found
