Since yesterday we finally have a stable version of |
| 5 |
app-admin/eselect-news in the tree [0], now it's time to get some news |
| 6 |
rollin' :) |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
The 2008.0 sparc profile uses a pure 32 bit userland and a 64 bit |
| 9 |
kernel. A few days ago I added an experimental multilib profile which |
| 10 |
uses 32 bit as default but also supports -m64. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Problem is you can't simply switch your make.profile symlink, that's why |
| 13 |
we have a migration guide [1] and the purpose of this news item would be |
| 14 |
to notify users who switched to that profile that they need to read and |
| 15 |
follow that guide. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Besides causing gcc and glibc to fail compilation, not reading that |
| 18 |
guide would also make a users system end up with two different libdirs: |
| 19 |
lib and lib32 |
| 20 |
(All our non-multilib profile use lib as libdir and our multilib |
| 21 |
profiles use lib32/lib64 with lib as a symlink to one of them) |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I'll commit this in 72 hours unless someone objects. |
