the reason for the slouching is simply man power/interest. the people |
| 8 |
responsible for the amd64 port and multilib design moved on for various |
| 9 |
reasons, and the multilib support pretty much stayed unchanged. of late, ive |
| 10 |
been cleaning up and absorbing multilib responsibility as we support more ABIs |
| 11 |
with our various non-amd64 targets. and with x32 coming, we need this stuff |
| 12 |
to be in place ahead of time. |
