On powerpc the answer is also simple. Having too many sets of libraries is a maintainance nightmare and build time killer (ppc/ppc64 glibc already builds twice to three times as long as i?86/x86_64, having 3 extra sets of libs would mean waiting for glibc to build forever). And the gains aren't very noticeable. Jakub -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
