I understand that the multilib profile allows for having 32-bit libraries and being able to run 32-bit binaries, whereas no-multilib restricts you to a purely 64-bit environment with no 32-bit compatibility. What would be some of the reasons for setting up a no-multilib profile? Perhaps for a computational workstation that doesnt need any fancy toys or a development system? Are any of you here running on a no-multilib 64-bit profile? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
