The second half of the section "Loading/running an executable" is about thw HWCAP stuff (look for "capability suffix"). In the summary I have this point: * If capability-optimized ISA/ABI-compatible library variants are desired, they can be build just as today, only under the (same) multiarch suffix. They could be packaged either within a single pacakge, or else using multiple packages (of the same multiarch type). If you feel this could be made clearer, I'd appreciate any suggestions :-) Mit freundlichen Gruessen / Best Regards Ulrich Weigand -- Dr. Ulrich Weigand | Phone: +49-7031/16-3727 STSM, GNU compiler and toolchain for Linux on System z and Cell/B.E.
