Aren't libraries almost certain to get out of sync on platforms
with 32/64 bit capabilities if you don't bundle both versions
in all binary distributions?
I'm not sure I understand. For Solaris, we plan on having a native 32
bit version (only 32 bit components) and a native 64 bit version (only
64 bit components). Same as we have now on linux. The linux i386
packages contain only 32 bit components, and the x86_64 packages contain
only 64 bit components.
