eglibc (2.13-8) unstable; urgency=low
Starting with the eglibc package version 2.13-5, the libraries are
shipped in the multiarch directory /lib/$arch instead of the more
traditional /lib.
The toolchain in Debian has been updated to cope with that, and most
build systems should be unaffected. If you are using a non-Debian
toolchain to build your software and it is not able to cope with
multiarch, you might try to pass the following options to your
compiler:
-I/usr/include/$arch --sysroot /usr/lib/$arch
Do you have ideas for improving this? Perhaps a wording change, or a
wrapper around gcc that could be shipped somewhere under
/usr/share/doc/libc6/ (or a "libc6-dev-compat" package that can only
be installed in one architecture at a time and install symlinks under
/lib)?
Patches against the source package are always welcome.
Thanks and hope that helps,
Jonathan
