I do *NOT* mean duping the source code, I simply mean duping the compile run in the buildworld, one for --unix32, one for --unix64, for 32 bit platforms. 64 bit platforms would require no library duplication at all (that being the idea), nor will 32 bit platforms down the line when the old 32 bit interface becomes a compatibility option. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
