No. You can't sensibly detect the target platform and make the decision. If you want it automatic, you don't want a biarch system; you want a pure 64-bit or pure 32-bit system rather than a hybrid. Biarch is a hack that is currently useful for 32- and 64-bit library coexistence, used AFAICT only by RedHat and SUSE. It will be obsoleted once we have proper multiarch support, which will allow us to have multiple ABIs supported on a single system, not just two. Some distributions (e.g. Debian) are never going to support biarch. http://www.linuxbase.org/~taggart/multiarch.html http://raw.no/debian/amd64-multiarch-3 Regards, Roger - -- Roger Leigh Printing on GNU/Linux? http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/ Debian GNU/Linux http://www.debian.org/ GPG Public Key: 0x25BFB848.
