I kind of don't see yet how such a feature would have many users. Certainly seems like a very special idea to me: for example passing -m32 typically invalidates many configure tests (size of types, functioning of compiler, etc). Generally, multilib setups are accomplished by having multiple build trees with different configure options. For example GCC with its config-ml.in and AM_ENABLE_MULTILIB, and lots of support code. > >> I know I ask about it a lot, and I remember seeing posts about it > >> awhile ago that looked promising regarding getting that feature. > > > > Hmm.
