Thread: Need access to a Linux box

I'm in process of releasing a PL/Java based on the latest 8.0.0rc1. My 
Linux box is x86_64 based and even if I can cross-compile a 32 bit 
binary on it, I feel it's not really the same thing. Normally I use the 
"testdrive" over at hp but it has had a "no space left on device" status 
for a couple of days now. Does anyone know about some other place where 
I can compile and run some rudimentary tests?

I need a Linux based i586 or i686 with gcc 3.4.1 or higher (The gcj in 
earlier versions is not good enough) and either a preinstalled Sun JDK 
1.4.2 (or higher) or some diskspace so that I can do a local 
installation myself. I will also need space for PostgreSQL in two 
flawors, the 7.4.6 and the 8.0.0rc1. A local and fairly restricted 
account is fine as long as I can ftp stuff to some local directory.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Thomas Hallgren

What I always do is build everything in an i386 chroot.  That
means it really does the same as an i386.  You might have to use
the linux32 bit util too, to change the uname -m output from
x86_64 to i686.

If you're still not convised it's the same, boot an i386 kernel
instead.
