Re: 32- vs 64- bit install and testing changes


This should now be done.!

Hello,

Due to a number of querks in the way GNU/Linux lays out 32on64 systems - for instance a lib64 but no libexec64 - I'm going to adjust where frysk installs its test programs so that:

- 32-bit -> /usr/lib/frysk
- 64-bit -> /usr/lib64/frysk

and update funit's paths to assume this.

Doing this has a few consequences (I won't call them advantages):

- it lets 32- and 64- bit test programs better co-habitate
Previously, the 64-bit test programs in libexec forced out any 32-bit programs.


- it removes the need for a 32-bit build environment when building 64-bit frysk
Instead, the 32-bit and 64-bit frysk can each be built in a pure 32/64 build environment, installing both gives both 32- and 64- bit libraries. I'm not arguing this is a step forward, rather just accommodating what appears to be a somewhat dogmatic view of what a build system shall do.


- it does mean that in-tree 32-bit on 64-bit testing is more complex
I think I'll set things up so that those 32-bit programs are no longer installed.
