Ok, so I have some apps that require 32 bit libraries, but I'm currently using |
2 |
a no-multilib profile. |

"Warning: Currently you cannot switch from a no-multilib to a multilib-enabled |
11 |
profile, so think over your decision twice before you use the no-multilib |
12 |
profile." |

Now, I know that I can install most of the emul-linux-x86-* stuff and that |
15 |
will probably be enough for me, but I was wondering what the technical |
16 |
problems iwould be if I just changed my /etc/make.profile to point to a |
17 |
multilib profile. As far as I can tell, gcc and glibc would be rebuilt with |
18 |
USE=multilib, and a new set of libraries would be installed into /lib32 and |
19 |
/usr/lib32 (in addition to those already installed under the corresponding |
20 |
lib64 locations). So, how would that break the existing applications? |

Thanks for any insight. |
