I'm trying to put together a summary of what distributions have hopped on the Multiarch /lib/<triplet> bandwagon (or plan to), and for those who haven't, what their solution is to dealing with various instruction sets, system call interfaces, application binary interfaces, etc. on a single root filesystem.
Gentoo plans on following standard multilib behavior (what gcc/glibc use)
based on the paths before, it looks like you're really only sampling the x86 architecture ?
I'm mostly interested in ARM and x86, but curious about other architectures too, if they're handled differently. My thinking as that those who have 32-bit ARM support but don't yet have aarch64/arm64 support might adopt the same style their x86 support is already using, should they find ARM's 64-bit ISA sufficiently interesting.
Gentoo Multilib C: /lib32, /lib64, /libx32
/lib32 is the historical 32bit x86 path. we're migrating away from that and to /lib. Gentoo uses the standard paths for all other ABIs.
Thanks, Christopher
