Nothing stops you from doing that. But if you want them to load from a non x32-ABI application, no way. As I said on my blog before, the big problem is that x32 is neither x86-64 nor x86 binary compatible (if they bumped x86 ABI that would have helped) so there is no way to cross-load or cross-call any more than you can load a 32-bit library on a 64-bit application or vice versa. Of course you could build Chrome for amd64 as well. And Qt5 while you're at it. And KDE. And since you'll also have Skype (32-bit) you'll be wondering where the memory saving boasted by the ricers (on forums and so on) is, given that you're loading three libcs, three libssl, two Qt (as right now) and I don't know many more duplicates... -- Diego Elio Pettenò — Flameeyes flamee...@flameeyes.eu — http://blog.flameeyes.eu/
