Cool,
That brings us to the next step, what is the best way to get most libraries to
build 64bit packages ? This would need some extensive change in the packaging
stuff probably.
Do you know if sparc64 or other such already build 64bit library versions,
since we are more akin to them than to the amd64 situation ?
