Here I compile EICARgen on Kali Linux to a 32-bit, statically linked Linux executable.
gcc’s option -m32 creates a 32-bit executable on 64-bit Linux.
If you get this error:
then one way to solve it is by installing libc6-dev-i386 (apt install libc6-dev-i386):
Then option -m32 can be used to create a 32-bit executable:
This executable will not run on 64-bit system that don’t have the libraries we just installed. A work-around is to statically link the ELF file with option -static:
