Obviously, unilaterally dropping 32-bit support by providing only 64-bit components also breaks binary compatibility on 32-bit systems, as those systems are unable to run 64-bit executables or link 64-bit libraries into 32-bit executables. _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
