I'm starting to think we should make the linux_base-# ports into meta ports which pull in linux_base_<arch> ports. At the very least we will need seperate linux-i386 and linux-amd64 ports for amd64 machines and I wouldn't be all the suprised to see similar issues crop up on other architectures which support 32-bit and 64-bit in some way. (PPC and MIPS seem like the most likely places this would happen). -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
