I think this is an absolute requirement for pure64.
The binaries will run on all distributions which have the interpreter accessible as /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2. Gentoo, Ubuntu and of course pure64 install the interpreter as /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 today, so the binaries will run on these distributions without changes. On other distributions it may be necessary to execute ln -sf /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 to run the binaries until those distributions install that symlink themselves. Anyway, if you intend to run binaries on different distributions, you should create binaries which conform to the LSB standard and you should install the LSB compatibility package on the target system. Otherwise you will certainly have more serious problems than the location of the interpreter. Regards Andreas Jochens P.S.: Do you really want to install Debian binary packages on other (non-Debian related) distributions (e.g. RedHat, SuSe)?
