Hi Wolfgang,
I have tried both an install and a build from scratch of v3.1.1;
both fail due to various scripting problems having to due with
unsupported HOST_ARCH of x86_64.
Below is a cut and paste of the install failure. I don't have
the build from scratch failure at the moment (but the initial failures were
in ELDK_BUILD and build.sh scripts; search ELDK_BUILD and
build.sh for uname -m and HOST_ARCH. You'll see what I mean :)

Which sort of host system is this (Processor(s), RAM, Linux distribution) ?

It works fine here on several Athlon / Opteron systems running Fedora
Core 2 and Fedora Core 3; for example:
