Hi,

I have an AMD64 linux box running redhat linux and want to build both a
32-bit and 64-bit version of EPICS BASE.

Before we get started, I wanted to check the community for EPICS running
on AMD64 natively.  Is anyone doing this?

I would like to start with just building EPICS R3.14 natively against an
ADM64 Opteron architecture.  Not interested in cross-compiling yet (i.e.
let's forget about vxWorks for now).

Of course, we will need new configuration files in
"<EPICS_BASE/configure/os>"

I supposed they would look like so:
================================================
CONFIG.Common.linux-x86_64
CONFIG.Common.linux-x86_64-debug
CONFIG.linux-x86_64.Common
CONFIG.linux-x86_64-debug.Common
CONFIG.linux-x86_64-debug.linux-x86_64-debug
CONFIG.linux-x86_64.linux-x86_64
CONFIG.linux-x86_64.linux-x86_64-debug
CONFIG_SITE.Common.linux-x86_64
CONFIG_SITE.linux-x86_64.Common
CONFIG_SITE.linux-x86_64-debug.linux-x86_64-debug
CONFIG_SITE.linux-x86_64.linux-x86_64
CONFIG_SITE.linux-x86_64.UnixCommon
=================================================
