Ah, well, this is a stdenv change, so it belongs to stdenv-updates instead of master. Currently it seems it won't take too long to stabilize stdenv-updates. I see no reason against this. It's seems useless but harmless for people with 32-bit kernel. |
|
If there's no reaction within a few days, I'll cherry-pick this into stdenv-updates. |
|
Yes, it's an stdenv-updates, you're right, please cherry pick it to the stdenv-updates branch. |
|
ATM I'm verifying things still build, to be sure. I'll push after that. |

Oh, I forgot to close this (github only does this automatically after including to master, which doesn't seem appropriate for our workflow). Thanks. |

This is very convenient when working on an i686 installation with an amd64 kernel. I usually do this to make everything small and fast (i686), but occasionally I can still compile stuff to amd64 if the extra registers are needed. It'd be convenient to use the same binutils tools for those binaries in this case. This is already like this in Debian, so I don't think we will meet any issues.
Plese note that this may trigger an stdenv rebuild, so you may want to merge it to some other branch than master.
