Yes, the differences between a x86 build and a pure 64 libs x86_64 build are minimal. The question is, we will add only pure 64 libs x86_64? or is that a mean of POC before adding also instructions to build multilib x86_64 systems? IMHO, multilib build instructions will be very intrussive due that several packages need be builded two times. If we want to add it, we will need to render sepparate books to not mess the reader with a lot of "if ....". Thus I think that if multilib support will be added, is best to have ready the profiling and rendering framework now that the changes are minimal, to let editors familiarice with the new XML tagging. > 6) Bootloader.
