I'm not sure I grok how shipping the same (same path, binary identical) ./bin/cat in base.tgz _and_ in base32.tgz fits that picture. On sparc64 if I unpack all tgz sets, I get 32-bit sparc libs in the right places, coming from base32.tgz. On my arm when I unpack all tgz sets, the bits from base32.tgz just _overwrite_ bits from the base.tgz with identical contents as far as I can tell. Do I need to know _not_ to unpack base32.tgz on arm (but to also know to do unpack it on sparc64, etc)? -uwe
