1-Requires more installation space due to need for various 32 bit libs
That's true, and I don't get it. On a freshly installed 13.1 x86_64 system, I have 63 32bit packages installed, for a total of over 41 MB. I see I need glibc-32bit for master-boot-code (which surprisingly is only built for i586)
well, it is real mode x86 code, so it is probably not even 32bit, but 16bit code :-), but why the hell this needs glibc? It needs to fit into 432 bytes IIRC, so glibc is certainly not used by it... Smells like a packaging bug. Ok, i checked it. It is for "fixmbr", but I think this could easily be built as 64bit program.
