Yes, this is somewhat weird: |
| 5 |
They have /lib/i386-linux-gnu/ and /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ |
| 6 |
but anyway they use /lib32 instead of e.g. /lib/i686-linux-gnu/ |
| 7 |
Their reasons for this are mysterious to me. |

Migrating to the completely split setting /lib{,32,64,x32} |
| 12 |
would be _less_ intrusive than to simultaneously omitting /lib32: |
| 13 |
With a slight modification of Michał's tool (in the instructions |
| 14 |
and keeping lib32 untouched) not even a re-emerge of anything |
| 15 |
would be necessary (as is the case now). |

This is one of the reasons why a completely split layout appears |
| 18 |
safer to me than to combine it with yet another new merge we |
| 19 |
have no experience with. |
