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!
