Jan Steffens and me spent the this weekend putting together a multilib toolchain and a clean lib32-glibc package. I wanted to do this for at least two years, and we finally managed to do it on FrOSCon now. This is the plan of attack on this:
* Maintain the PKGBUILDs in svn-community/${pkgname}/trunk/ * Create a separate repo 'multilib', (svn-community/${pkgname}/repos/multilib-x86_64) * Remove ALL multilib packages from community. Do NOT mix pure 64 bit with multilib. All multilib must go into the new multilib repository. * Rebuild all multilib packages with the multilib compiler to solve the numerous problems encountered by the hackish "copy our 32 bit packages into another path" approach. * Find TUs and Devs willing to work on multilib (please add your name to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Multilib_Project)
Any comments are welcome. We will upload the multilib packages and PKGBUILDs into a small test repository in a minute for review. A temporary repository is up: http://pkgbuild.com/~heftig/multilib/
This looks like it could break Arch Linux as a whole. I'm in!
