But I asked this morning how to build both i686 and i586 libraries into the same package and I was essentially called an idiot,
Hmm, this is becoming non-sense. http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg104137.html
This was a direct answer to your message. You then ask for the same things this morning. I assumed you read the previous answer concerning how things work, or you would have replied to this message if it was not clear enough, and not generating a new thread with mostly questions where those answers appeared to be appropriate in the first place.
Now, for building i586 & i686 libraries. Well, you build it twice with the proper flags, in separate directories. Then, %makeinstall (whatever installation style) the default ones, aka i586. At last, manually copy the i686 libs to the appropriate directories. There are surely other means, but this is what I do for glibc.
Bye, Gwenole.
