Ouch.
Okay, let me rephrase that...
Has anyone here ever taken a regular application with one dynamic library, and 
built an RPM with both i586 and i686/mmx libraries?

relax, people can't give good answers at all times, and also it's not always 
that easy to communicate

it's been described in other threads, and I don't think Gwenole gave such an 
answer in contempt, he probably thought that you could read it for yourself, 
and you must remember that while you don't think the explanation was good 
enough, he might've thought so, what might seem obvious for one, might not 
seem that obvious for everyone..
hopefully gwenole will take his time to document this, or maybe someone else 
will, also there's no stopping you from reading up on this yourself, after 
all, even gwenole probably did this once;)

if that's some sort of a response to gwenole's answer, I don't think much of 
it..

This is the worst answer I've ever seen in this list. I just can believe
we are spending so much time fighting with cooker and be answered with
such contempt.
If you already answered these questions, then please repeat yourself if
cut and paste is not beyond your dignity, or at least give some
pointers.
I think I am done with mandrake and cooker for a while, and that's
wishing you'll survive.

Hi,

1. Does this happen automatically, or does the executable require code 
to look there?
Yes, based on what the kernel says to glibc. I explained that before.

2. Can we actually compile two libraries (i586 and i686) and add them 
both to the rpm packages, or does that have to be done explicitly by 
the build process?
We can add both in the package since i686 libraries go into another 
directory. I explained that before.

3. Is there some tutorial for programmers on doing this type of thing?
?

It just seems like such an easy solution to our mmx problem, I wonder 
why it's not more often employed.
Please read Cooker archives.

Bye,
Gwenole.
