Environment Variables

The SGI_ABI environment variable can be used to specify whether you want a 32-bit or 64-bit compilation environment. It is overridden by use of the -32 or -64 option on the command line. The usage of other compiler environment variables is the same between the 32-bit and 64-bit compiler systems. Special care should be taken in using the following two environment variables.

_RLD_PATH

Used to override the default runtime 32-bit linker

_RLD64_PATH

Used to override the default runtime 64-bit linker
Using the wrong _RLD*_PATH can cause 64-bit code to try to use 32-bit .so's. For the most part, staying with the defaults is the best policy.
