The main problem is that there's cases where there's no obvious 1:1 mapping, take i386/x32/amd64 or arm/armel/armhf/arm64, or mips where there's three ABIs, etc. And I don't think this is generally useful anyway, less so now with multiarch when multilib packages will be disappearing. > I would be using this for a patch making dpkg cross-building work with > gcc's multilib in gcc-defaults package. I think I've mentioned this before, but gcc already has (and needs) knowledge about the multilib “pairs” and as such it makes sense to keep that knowdlege localized there. thanks, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
