[snip] Responding late to this. This change won't, in the future, affect mips multilib, will it? Remember, we've got three ABIs to juggle, and this proposed change looks like it might clobber one of those ABIs. o32 - old 32-bit, goes into /lib or /usr/lib. n32 - hybrid 32-bit/64-bit (like x32), goes into /lib32 or /usr/lib32. n64 - full 64-bit, goes into /lib64 or /usr/lib64 This basically follows the layout that old IRIX used to use when you had binaries/libs from all three ABIs mixed into the same root. -- Joshua Kinard Gentoo/MIPS [email protected] 6144R/F5C6C943 2015-04-27 177C 1972 1FB8 F254 BAD0 3E72 5C63 F4E3 F5C6 C943 "The past tempts us, the present confuses us, the future frightens us.
