MultilibUnterstützung
MultilibUnterstützung, often shortened to multilib, refers to the capability of an operating system or software distribution to support multiple different architectures or instruction sets simultaneously on the same system. This typically means being able to run applications compiled for 32-bit processors on a 64-bit system, or even supporting different endianness.
The primary motivation for multilib support is compatibility. Many older applications were compiled for 32-bit architectures,
Implementing multilib involves providing libraries and tools that can handle different binary formats. For instance, a
While multilib offers significant advantages in terms of compatibility, it does come with some drawbacks. It
