BTW, as a general question, is there a reliable way to detemine the "mapping"
between an ISA and her corresponding 64-bit counterpart, as in:
i386 -> amd64
sparc -> sparcv9
ppc -> ppc64
?
I am not sure what purpose you need this for, but in some cases (path
in /usr/lib
for example) it is just
32 -> 64
which makes it quite simple and obvious without even need to determine it
dynamically.
I would think that it would be much more scalable to be able to determine this
dynamically, than hardcode a bunch of case statements.
