I expected quibbling on the ‘need’ to run a 32-bit binary. Fact is, |
2 |
‘need’ is up to the user, and not up to others. If you want to install |
3 |
the main Firefox binary it is 32-bit; and that’s just one |
4 |
example. Substitute any software name you like in there, as a 32-bit |
5 |
binary; the hardware can run it. Only software can prevent that. |

As I say, the distinction is mainly due to Gentoo having botched |
8 |
multilib support on AMD64. We should have stuck with the original |
9 |
layout, whereby there was no profile distinction and everything 64-bit |
10 |
went in lib. There should be no need to install 32-bit toolchain if |
11 |
you do not want it, regardless of a profile supporting multilib. |
