Moving multilib files out of the core does not mean that it is being permanently broken, it only means that you have to start pulling in the contrib directory if you want to use multilib. That is, we're not killing the feature entirely, we're only splitting it out of automake proper into its own project, where it will hopefully get more attention than what the current level it is getting while embedded in automake. Re-read the list where we discussed this - gcc is doing a better maintenance job of multilib support in the first place, so this move is intended to point you towards the better-maintained source in the first place. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
