If you have a 64bit system, the default should be 64bit, both for libs and for binaries. The |
| 9 |
additional multilib support allows to install and use additional 32bit libs and binaries. Since they |
| 10 |
are not the system dafault, they shouldnt be in some default place like lib, but instead a |
| 11 |
different, but clearly labeled dir like lib32. So the Gentoo way looks like the right way to me. |

And better support for this part is my current multilib-portage project, which allows compilation |
| 14 |
and installation of additional 32bit libs and binaries. |
