It's trivial for MiNTlib, but we need GCC. Maybe chicken and egg, but I think GCC is first up.
I had no problems to add the ColdFire multilib. I think GCC requires only the MiNTLib headers. If for some reason it tries to link some executables during configure, it will work since the 68000 MiNTLib will be linked by default. The generated test executables may be invalid, but no one cares because they will never be run.
Thus we will get a perfectly valid GCC package, ready to build the MiNTLib.
For me this discussion is about making GCC do what is capable, not the fact whether packages, package maintainers, or developers make use of that support or not. But it gives that flexibility when the time arises.
I have no objection to add any multilib to GCC iif: - people are going to use these new features - people agree to have huge GCC and -devel packages -- Vincent Rivière
