Once upon a time, Robert Scheck <robert(a)fedoraproject.org> said:
can somebody please explain me, why we've multilib wrappers for
packages
at non-multilib architectures such as arm, alpha, ia64 and sh?
multiarch != multilib
Just for starters, long before x86_64 came into the picture, we had
i386, i486, i586, and i686. On Alpha, you have (IIRC) ev4, ev5, ev6,
ev67, etc.
When the distro was i386 targeted, we still had a few packages (where it
made a performance difference) that were built for i386, i586, and i686,
all of which are %{ix86}.
