No. The 32-bit ABI level being targeted here is basically the Pentium 4, which was a 32-bit part. On a P3 or older, yes, you'd need a rebuild, but the P4 was 2001 so we're talking about hardware old enough to vote here. If we did want to allow for pre-P4 32-bit userspace, what I'd probably do is (mostly) change %_libdir to /usr/lib/sse2 for i686, and leave it as /usr/lib for a (reintroduced) i586 architecture. - ajax _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/5ZTMW77HAWOFQN3QTA2BJB7IYQXWRUQW/
