No, this is about amd64 support for i386, replacing amd64-libs. I'm
currently building i386 biarch packages using glibc-2.3.2, which is
bad. The idea was to keep this, until lkh/glibc provide the updated
kernel headers. AFAIK Jeff did contact you about that. the biarch
support for amd64 is another thing, which would be nice to have, but
is not as urgent, because the ia32-libs still work.
