BSD Forums writes "FreeBSD's Dag-Erling Smorgrav reports the successful cross-world build of the amd64 tree (A tinderbox is system designed to test builds and report failure. In the FreeBSD case, tinderboxes build world [the base system], GENERIC, and if applicable LINT kernels. Dag-Erling Smorgrav currently runs all the tinderboxes by cross-building from i386)."

amd64 support in -current by kernelistic · 2003-05-25 03:42 · Score: 5, Informative

It's important to note that this anouncement only affects FreeBSD -current. -current also supports alpha, ia64 (Itanium2), pc98 and sparc64.

The -stable branch currently only supports i386, pc98 and alpha. When the 5.x branch will be deemed to be stable, all of -current's architectures will get official ISO images and testing using a wider audience will be possible. At this point work on 6-current will begin.
