what exactly is the purpose of this? maybe some crazy netboot AFS setup for an entire university that had a sitewide ruby or perl install but everyone had arch specific interpreter binaries in their $HOME/bin? i just don't see it...even on a multilib system, its not like theres a /usr/lib/ruby/i8086-hurd/bin/ruby, yet for the extensions theres /usr/lib64/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux and /usr/lib32/ruby/1.8/i686-linux -> the second platform specification is redundant and could easily be replaced by 'lib' or 'extra' or such...
I agree.
the most fitting thing for pd would probably be branch-specific dirs, for example itd be great when running canonical it didnt bomb out loading externals that reference a fftw symbol or use idle callbacks, and likewise id rather not have stock devel try to load GUI externals compiled for desire_devel...etc. it got to the point i had to recompile externals every time i was switching pd versions (maybe version-specific .pdrc sections would work too...)
I agree too.
