That way its a possibility for a user to go that route during install but isnt required. Or are we looking at too many potential conflicts between a 32devx sfs and a 64devx sfs?
I think a 32-bit SFS for running apps, (not compiling) as Fatdog has, with more libs from LHP 5.03 would be an option, however a 32-bit devx--for a Fatdog 64-based system... I have no idea. I don't know enough about compiling and potential conflicts to answer that.
Yes, the current 32-bit SFS for Fatdog is only for running apps, not for compiling. If you want to compile 32-bit apps in Fatdog, this is what I did - get an Quirky or Wary of the same age and their devx (I think the 32-bit SFS in Fatdog is based on Quirky 100 or 110 - can't recall now), and combine the devx and quirky.sfs into one SFS - and then mount them with aufs over tmpfs (or just use Shinobar's SFS loader). After that, just chroot into the directory - voila! You get yourself a 32-bit compiling environment :D

cheers!
