I'm not sure why /emul was originally chosen though it's a choice I've
just gone along with whilst maintaining these packages. I've always
viewed the emul libs as a temporary measure until we had full multilib
fuctionality in portage. Afaik the only person working on this was
eradicator who has been mia for a while now so I'm unsure weather this
is ever likely to arise.
blubb was working on this but ran out of time for it or something, he
wrote a proto-GLEP that I've got lying around. I'm thinking of seeing
what I can do because the current situation really annoys me, even
though I don't have a multilib box.
Given that it looks like we'll be stuck with
these binary libs for some time yet then we may as well do as you
suggest and install them in a standard location to make building against
them a bit easier. I'll look into doing this when I next version bump the
packages.
Thanks,
