Ok, I respect that, what about using the actual ABI name, ie aapcs-vfp? or something that includes both the architecture and the eabi, (arm-hardfloat, armhf, armhfp, etc), but *in* the filename (excluding the case of using a separate directory as it's not too popular). Also, I'm not suggesting changing the triplet or anything, just deciding on a unique name for the triplet. Debian's argument is that the default multilib solution is not future-proof and we would prefer something that is more unique. Regarding /lib64 for aarch64, that's an entirely different discussion, though I do agree it should be also be resolved sooner rather than later as well. Regards Konstantinos
