there's a bug open atm requesting we add biarch support to our x86/amd64 |
2 |
compilers [1]. i'd like to take this further and do it for all ppc systems |
3 |
too (sparc has already done this). basically, this just affects the code that |
4 |
gcc can generate. it does not affect the libraries it includes. |

i haven't heard any feedback from peeps, so if no one has any reason not to do |
7 |
this, i'll enable it prob this weekend. |

the advantage is that it should obsolete the separate kgcc64 package for most |
10 |
people. and i think it might help out with the multilib bootstrap issue: you |
11 |
can't build multilib gcc without a multilib glibc, and can't build a multilib |
12 |
glibc without a multilib gcc, but i think you should be able to build a |
13 |
multilib glibc with a multiarch gcc, and then a multilib gcc after that. |
