NOTE: On the amd64 platform, the above procedure will not update the
lib32 (i386 compatibility) libraries.  On amd64 systems where the i386
compatibility libraries are used, the operating system should instead
be recompiled as described in
<URL:http://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/makeworld.html>


Don't quite understand - do we really have to rebuild and reinstall whole world on amd64 just to update these libraries? Rebuilding is not a problem here but reinstalling can be painful because of host-based IDS, custom chflags and so on. Looks like a terrible waste of resources. Is there a way to reinstall just these libraries or to get them from the net in a secure manner i.e. signed?

Cheers.
