Feature changed by: Steffen Ungruh (steffko) Feature #317810, revision 2 Title: Support for the x32 ABI openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important + Requested by: Steffen Ungruh (steffko) Requested by: Sven Hartrumpf (sven1999) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The x32 ABI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X32_ABI offers more efficiency for many programs. Now that kernel, gcc, binutils, and libc support x32, it should be possible to provide a pattern (and/or a DVD) for x32. + Discussion: + #1: Steffen Ungruh (steffko) (2014-07-26 19:26:12) + Oh yes, please! I realize that adding another architecture to the Build + Service is not exactly a small request. Especially since the ARMs have + entered the arena, I imagine the present Build Service hardware already + being stressed as it is. The maintainers as well for that matter. And + yet. That being said. An Asus eeePC 1015PED with an Intel Atom N475 is + my main rig. And as much as I would like to have my own "atom" + architecture branch, I am well aware that without using Gentoo or LFS + it's not gonna happen. And although the N475 is a 64 Bit CPU, there's + the hardware limitation of 2GB RAM and also the general netbookiness in + performance, so that the overhead between x86_64 and i586 becomes + considerable! Well, here I am - like many other Low-End-Hardware user + out there -, caught between a rock and a hard place. It seems sensible + to some to go with the i586 architecture, but sensible is not really my + style. Long story, short: Please consider an implementation! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/317810
