Hi, Folks,
Linux will move to multilib soon. I know egcs supports multilib.
But I have some doubts how well it will work on Linux. ELF/PPC
has 2 ABIs. But I don't know any Linux/PPC distribution supports
both ABIs. I don't think the "nof" ABI is supported. I don't think
it is trivial to build such a distribution. I don't even know if
it is necessary for Linux. I'd like to hear what people's views
on it.
Thanks.
