Yes. I know archscore is dying and won't entirely be happy about biarch stuff but: 1. I've got NOTHING that resembles opteron or ppc64 hardware so testing this is hard 2. It's not obvious to me that red hat's mechanism for dealing with multi-arch libraries will be the choice other distros make. -sv
