Hi all,
I just noticed that there are changes in the development version of LFS,
related to x86_64 architecture. But i do miss the rationale and/or more
explanation. The latter is important because I see several changes which
make sense, but misses other related changes in various other packages.
Also having now /lib64 as a directory instead of a link puzzles me. The
more because /lib is still a directory and not a link to /lib64 as per FHS
3.0.
Where does FHS 3.0 say a symlink is required?
What additional explanation would you suggest and where should it be?
Looking at the FHS 3.0 documentation does not help either since the new
LFS directory structure seems to be a non-consistent mix of various
possibilities. See above and next example: /usr/lib with redundant link
/usr/lib64.
4.8. /usr/lib<qual> : Alternate format libraries (optional)
does not seem to require /usr/lib64.
