We can build critical libraries and put them in */lib/i686. e.g. could be intereting for OpenSSL stuff or whatever (Atlas?). Glibc is already aware of that, likewise for sub hwcaps (mmx, xmm2, etc.). Undoubtedly, it doesn't worth to build a whole system with subtarget specific optimizations. Only vital libraries would see a benefit, especially those that already provide hand asm-tuned code for example. > DrakX can be modified to choose the right architecture package and use > it instead Not possible when I asked for 9.0. ;-) That's why I added */lib/i686 libraries in main glibc package. And imho, that creates even smaller (sub)packages or one would have to really create target specific packages with only the right set of libraries? Bye, Gwenole.
