It is yet to be seen if it will be successful, and using the x86_64
kernel on i586 installs hinges upon this functionality so I recall.
AFAIK, Debian has been shipping i386 GCC with -m64 support for ages.
The
drawback is that it's slower even when not using -m64 because some
internal
types (HOST_WIDE_INT and related stuff) are larger.
Not true. -m64/-32 cause gcc to switch between multilibs, when using a
multilibbed setup. Unless something is broken somewhere, the internal
types, library search paths etc. will be set up correctly.
Debian has multilib?
Not that I am a aware off (I don't use Debian nor Ubuntu).
I was commenting on Kevin's remark on type-sizes from a GCC focused
perspective: Unless something is bugged, it switches type-sizes and
library paths corresponding to its multilib-switches.
I don't know about the kernel related issues.
