well. things have progressed, thx to benoit, coz i'm afraid my skills are
too
low (no pun intented:) to get the whole thing as it is now.
a patch for sorcery is needed for biarch support, installwatch is crippled
with a couple bugs (which happens on x86 too), basesystem spells are ok
BUT lots of spells have outdated configures and do not recognize x86_64.
that would mean having to maintain lots of patches, which would be a real
pain in the ass. So we're a bit stuck at the moment.
