nope. sounds more like self inflicted pain.
To be very, very, very clea here. multilib can not solve the "different base arches on one system problem". lib/lib32/lib64/libhf/libsf will overlap as soon as you have more than one of x86, arm, power, mips, etc.
no one is saying it can (or at least, i'm certainly not). my point is that many people don't see this as a "problem".
Don't the multilib paths contain enough information to handle this? They certainly have in the past as I can recall building toolchains that handled several architectures within power, arm & mips families in the past
Is the problem here that glibc simply isn't building multilib paths in the same way that GCC has for the last 15 years?
