Right, but e.g. <fts.h> refuses to work under it.

Oh okay.

Indeed.
>32-bit mips also has more than one ABI ("o32" and "n32") which might be
n32 is 64-bit, but from a short research, let’s not look at how
MIPS did this because it’s apparently convoluted and “historical
reasons” enough to make people despair (and apparently one can
compile an o32 file for MIPS64…).
But, yes, e_flags seems to be the way to go.

Wouldn’t help here, considering that the old i386 has to be there
for legacy reasons so people might manually throw in, oh idk, an
OpenSSL 0.x and libstdc++5 even. But, yeah, M-A is nice now that
it works.

<igli> exceptions: a truly awful implementation of quite a nice idea.
<igli> just about the worst way you could do something like that, afaic.
<igli> it's like anti-design. <mirabilos> that too… may I quote you on that?
<igli> sure, tho i doubt anyone will listen ;)
