Gentoo uses basically the same directory layout as the experimental ppc64 archive on alioth, with the exeception that 32 bit support is not yet fully working in Gentoo. It is of course true that some other distributions put 32 bit libraries in /usr/lib and 64 bit libraries in /usr/lib64. I will not follow that path because for a native 64 bit distribution this will lead to an almost empty /usr/lib directory while all the native libraries are in /usr/lib64. In other words this would mean to change the name of the well established '/usr/lib' hierarchy to '/usr/lib64'. This would be ugly, at least IMHO. Regards Andreas Jochens
