Yes, you can run i686 binaries directly on a x86_64 system with the default libre linux kernel (which have i686 support enabled), one example is the ‘wine’ package. > > Many other distributions have support for the so-called "multilibs", > that is, a separate 32-bit library tree with the 32-bit linker > configured to load those instead of their 64-bit counterparts. > > Does Guix have any provision for multilibs? Guix install every package into its own directory which already cover the multilibs cases.
