agreed -- as far as i'm concerned the 32 bit libraries are there for

should just go away!
64-bit isn't any more "native" than 32-bit on some 64-bit platforms.
32-bit is the default and most desirable userland binary format on
sparc64 for example. So 32-bit programs on sparc64 are as "native" as
64-bit ones might be considered.
that's true, i had forgotten about the sparc64 case. it really does slow
down tremendously when used in pure 64 bit mode
i would imagine this not to be the case for most architectures though.
possibly hppa is the same way. anyone with mips64 and ppc64 hardware out
there have any input?
