More complete bi-arch support on 64-bit at least AMD64?
On FC3, at least /usr/include/kde/arts/gsl/gslconfig.h in
arts-devel (.i386 and .x86_64) conflict, after inspecting both,
one of the #defines differs, so it's not only a packaging problem.
But I have seen other headers that include arch dependent stuff
from /usr/include/asm-i386 or /usr/include/asm-x86_64, respectively.
Ultimately, I would like to be able to install both <package>-libs
and <package>-devel as the latter may contain static libs in either
/usr/lib or /usr/lib64. Maybe there should be a <package>-headers
that contains the common stuff between the arch dependent -devel RPM.
Hm. Anaconda or firstboot support to install all the .i386 versions of
the above on x86-64 would be nice. I don't mind downloading all the
2x N disks for FC4, I installed both versions of FC3 on different
machines, too.
Can you please check out the posting from Miloslav and start filing
bugzilla requests and maybe also patches to clean up the important
base libraries for this?
