I think everyone would like to see that, yes.
So what are the options here?
1. Come up with some layout that accomodates duplicate include files
in 32 and 64 bit versions (something analogous to lib/64)
- do we have any analysis on how it will impact the consumers of
these header/include files?
2. Attempt to fix the underlying problem and contribute upstream. Why
doesn't it generate a single set of include files with appropriate
ifdefs and such? Sounds like a bug and under ideal conditions bugs
should be fixed.
3. Defer delivering the 64 bit build until it can be properly solved.
Any other options?
Is the scope of this problem small enough that it can be properly
solved in a short time or do we need to consider #3?
