Still another idea to think about: What about going through the whole build process including --mixed, but then only packaging the 32 bit libraries? Will that work as well?
That sounds like it might work. I'll try it out.
If you build in a clean chroot using devtools, it will (IIRC) install the base multilib devel packages.
However, if a user were to build inside the normal system, we would only assume base-devel to be present! Even if you have multilib packages installed, you can have a system without multilib devel packages (as mine - I have lib32-glibc, lib32-gcc-libs and so on, but no gcc-multilib, no binutils-multilib, no libtool-multilib and no gcc-libs-multilib!). We have gcc-multilib as a makedepend everywhere as far as I can see, so please add it here as well.
Ahh, makes sense now, OK.
Alright. I'll wait until later tonight (now + 5 hours), and if nobody objects until then, I'll give you permissions to multilib (you can already check into svn-community, all you need is the right to write to the multilib ftp directory).
Alright, thanks! -- GPG/PGP ID: C0711BF1
