You might be interested in: http://dev.gentoo.org/~kanaka/auto-multilib/ which doesn't need ABI dependencies - ABI dependencies and associated tracking could turn out to be a bit of a nightmare in practice. Kanaka explains some of the reasons why. > Whats the main things holding it back at the moment? My guess would be that there's no desperate need for it. The existing workarounds; i.e. chroots, emul packages etc work well enough for the amd64/x86 pair anyway. --=20 Kevin F.
