Re: Multilib directory of n32 libs

We have 2 conceptions here:
Multilib:
we have libc6-mips32 and libc6-mipsn32, both of these 2 packages are marked as
mips64el packages.
They install c libraries into /lib and lib32.
Multilib is what we are talking about here.
The problem we talking about is whether we should install them to
/lib or /libo32.
Don't do Multilib, it is a dead end street.
There is a reason that Debian invented the Multiarch. It is much more
useful. Let's adopt it instead...
Multiarch:
we have a package libc6 for both mipsel and mips64el.
libc6:mipsel install o32 libraries into /usr/lib/mipsel-linux-gnu, and
libc6:mips64el install n64 libraries into /usr/lib/mips64el-linux-gnuabi64.
With multiarch, we can install not only c libraries, but other
(nearly) all libraries of foreign arch(s).
Yes, it works well that way. You can have all three ABIs installed and
it should all just work.
Let's focus on talking about Multilib.
As I said above, I think we should forget about whatever Multilib is.
