Hi,
The current Linux distributions for x86_64 can run both 64Bit and 32Bit
applications. But they have one major problem: 64Bit applications have to use
64Bit libraries, and 32Bit applications have to use 32Bit libraries.
One huge problem for example is the non-existance of a 64Bit Flash-Player at
the moment.
Those are the usual error message for 32 vs. 64 bit problems
/usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries:
libasound.so.2: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-close.c: 342: _dl_close: Assertion
`tmap->l_ns == ns' failed!
Now I am wondering, whether it would be possible to integrate the processor
emulator of qemu into the Linux kernel, so that applications can
transparently use different-bitsized libraries by qemulating them on demand?
Best regards,
Philipp Gühring
