+    <para arch="ml_32,ml_x32,ml_all">The option 'IA32 a.out support' is
+      optional. In case your kernel does not have 'x32 ABI for 64-bit mode'
+      enabled but only 'IA32 Emulation', you can continue to build your
+      system but you have to leave out any sections showing instructions
+      for building x32 objects. If neither 'IA32 Emulation' nor 
+      'x32 ABI for 64-bit mode' is enabled, you will run in errors 
+      latest when building <application>glibc</application> in Chapter 6,
+      so an upgrade of your host system kernel is required.
