Hey Benny!

 BP> prepare for kernel.org mainline, then you dont have multiarch
 BP> anymore, either you need 32bit only or not :)

'or not' sounds like what I've been doing for the last 15-20 years or so.

 BP> so now kernel.org have final a kernel for alpha'arch with pure
 BP> 64bit only

x86_64 pure 64bit for ages.  This is nothing new.

 BP> userland have disabled 32bit long time ago in gentoo

I think I beat them all to the punch.  I could look it up, but going by my less than perfect memory I am guesstimating 2005 at the latest.  Also c-only.  Absolutely zero c++ source was harmed in the making.  Roughly 128M for the entire development 'distribution' (gcc-4 and friends).

Those were the days my friend.

Life is good,
Maurice
