This directory contains the start of 32-bit compatibility packages for
Slackware64-current.

Tested with:
- Skype (dynamic build)
- RTCW: ET
- Wine (built withs script from builds.slamd64.com)

Slamd64's c/ set isn't quite right for this purpose; my goal with these
packages is to add 32-bit compatibility as unobtrusively as possible.

Currently one package from Slackware64(tm) is replaced (binutils), and one
file (/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-slackware-linux/4.3.3/specs) is modified (by
installing gcc-compat32). The binutils change is simply adding
--enable-multilib to the compile flags, and the specs change makes "gcc -m32"
looks for required libraries in /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-slackware-linux/4.3.3/32;
it leaves the search path for "gcc" and "gcc -m64" unchanged. A patch is
included (/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-slackware-linux/4.3.3/specs.multilib.patch)
documenting the change.

While the build scripts for gcc and glibc also build the 64-bit packages,
I've not included them, as you should be able to just install the -compat32
packages alongside slackware64-current's gcc and glibc packages.

P.S.

Sorry for the gap in slamd64-current; I've had tendon issues for the last few
months that have gone away now, and I hope to get up-to-date shortly.
