I haven't received my Creator CI20 board yet, but I still fail to understand how that's possible. On my x86-64 there is a *single* ABI, and thus I can have a single `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so` installed from libc6-dev:amd64 which wont conflict with `/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread.so` installed from libc6-dev:i386. I may sound dumb, but I fail to understand how multi-abi can be handled when directories are setup to handle (single) per-arch object files. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
