I don't think it's worth the trouble to burden all users with the need to generate a new file for all of their installed and binary packages, especially since the existing NEEDED.ELF.2 format is already sufficient to distinguish multilib ABIs an all systems except for multilib x32 and mips systems. By extending NEEDED.ELF.2, we can eliminate migration hassles for the vast majority of users. -- Thanks, Zac
