The three mips ABIs are o32 (fully 32bit), n32 (32bit address space, 64bit register width) and n64 (fully 64bit). n32 traditionally uses (/usr)/lib32. The general problem with this approach is that it doesn't scale beyond 2-3 ABIs, and requires a "native" ABI definition. The multi-arch approach tries to do better (but needs more work before it can provide a viable alternative). Thiemo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
