As the title suggests, I'm considering going no-multilib, given that I don't use 32-bit software in general, anyway. It would sure save compile time on glibc and gcc, and would eliminate the issues I seem to get with 32-bit compile failures when I compile glibc using gcc4, as well as /greatly/ simplifying my Gentoo life, at a cost of giving up something I don't really use anyway.
Question. If I do so, will grub still compile for me, or will I have to use grub-static (I /guess/ that's the binary-only ebuild?)? Hmm... the package.mask for no-multilib includes sys-boot/grub, so I apparently answered my own question... Still. confirmation/comments/suggestions would be appreciated. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
