Wouldn't there also be the problem of headers getting clobbered when
you do this?
We don't store libraries and headers in such a way that the different
arches can coexist without clobbering. That would be possible if we
have something like this:
/usr/lib/<gcc-platform-id>
/usr/include/<gcc-platform-id>
For example, a 32-bit x86 platform would probably use
"i686-redhat-linux-gnu", whereas a 64-bit x86 platform would use
"x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu".
Without that, it would be tough to guarantee that installing the
32-bit version of a devel package would produce a consistent and sane
build compared to an actual 32-bit chroot.
