Indeed. I don't build for RHEL using Fedora. However it would be unexpected (unprecented?) for Fedora to diverge from RH on handling multilib, and I expect changes here will show up there eventually, hence taking an interest in this issue. Fedora I use at home and don't often have call to build 32bit with (though this would probably be different if I made use of Wine at all). -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
