If you have a 64bit system, the default should be 64bit, both for libs and for binaries. The additional multilib support allows to install and use additional 32bit libs and binaries. Since they are not the system dafault, they shouldnt be in some default place like lib, but instead a different, but clearly labeled dir like lib32. So the Gentoo way looks like the right way to me. And better support for this part is my current multilib-portage project, which allows compilation and installation of additional 32bit libs and binaries. -- Thomas Sachau Gentoo Linux Developer
