Subject: [gentoo-amd64] Considering going no-multilib
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.
lilo can be compiled and works without multilib
