Uhm. If you want an upstream solution, you need to upstream your multi-arch patches. > - The header file currently seems to be completely conditionalized. > Is it safe to assume that the x86 variant is still considered empty > for any other architecture?

The Fortran header is the equivalent of the <bits/math-vector.h> C header. Its contents depends on what is necessary to describe the libmvec ABI. We will only know the ABI for libmvec once there is a port for other architectures, so future evolution of the header is impossible to predict. Thanks, Florian
