Hello, In an attempt to look about how to best bring biarch 64bit support to the powerpc architecture, and after Andreas Jochens asked about powerpc 64bit xlibs support for some apps he is using and which needs 64 bit support, i am wondering what the opinion of the X strike force team is about adding a couple of lib...64... versions of the X librariesfor the etch timeframe. They would need to be rebuilt with the -m64 flag, but shouldotherwise just work, thanks to the great work of our toolchain folk.
So, would the above be excluded totally, do you have another better solution (like using a design with a 64bit backend and a 32bit X frontend, not sure how this would be efficiency-wise, but it would probably need a lot of work for the applications to be rewritten in this way). x apparently already builds just fine in 64bit mode, or at least Andreas Jochens has done it, and if multi-arch ever becomes really usable, then another approach would be needed, in the meantime, the biarch is support we will have for etch.
