Nothing stops you from doing that. But if you want them to load from a |
| 8 |
non x32-ABI application, no way. As I said on my blog before, the big |
| 9 |
problem is that x32 is neither x86-64 nor x86 binary compatible (if they |
| 10 |
bumped x86 ABI that would have helped) so there is no way to cross-load |
| 11 |
or cross-call any more than you can load a 32-bit library on a 64-bit |
| 12 |
application or vice versa. |

Of course you could build Chrome for amd64 as well. And Qt5 while you're |
| 15 |
at it. And KDE. And since you'll also have Skype (32-bit) you'll be |
| 16 |
wondering where the memory saving boasted by the ricers (on forums and |
| 17 |
so on) is, given that you're loading three libcs, three libssl, two Qt |
| 18 |
(as right now) and I don't know many more duplicates... |
