Bug#633621: Dev packages may need to provide archives with multiple word lengths
Package: gcc-4.6
Version: 4.6.1-3
Development packages like (gcc-4.6-plugin-dev, libmudflap0-4.6-dev, &
libstdc++6-4.6-dev) provide .a files built only for the package
architecture's word length.
For example libstdc++6-4.6-dev for amd64 provides me the headers I need
to build against libstdc++, but only an .a file for linking into 64-bit
binaries, not 32-bit.
Not sure if we should provide both when built on 64-bit arch, or if we
should make separate packages for .a files (which I hate).
