right now I'm mostly concerned with the idea that in order to build for x86_64 we have to first have i686 built. That sort of works against all the assumptions we've been making for a while. So far I've not heard an explanation for it it has simply been asserted that it must be so.This is not true for most packages, only very few need to have 32bit packages installed in the buildroot. We anyway build x86_64 and x86 packages on the same machine. Seth, what is your concern here?
The problem arises when you try to rebuild gcc with mock on x86_64. x86 versions are needed to rebuild for x86_64, if I am understanding this correctly.....
This prevents gcc from being built with mock (in its current state/config)...

No Package Found for /usr/lib/libc.so No Package Found for /lib/libc.so.6 I hope I am understanding this correctly :) Michael
