The arch independent/dependent is much clearer IMHO, and is the vocabulary used by the FHS, AFAIK. It is certainly the one used by the configure script help:
--libdir=DIR object code libraries [EPREFIX/lib] --datarootdir=DIR read-only arch.-independent data root [PREFIX/share] --datadir=DIR read-only architecture-independent data [DATAROOTDIR]
The FHS, just like autoconf, does say that datadir must be arch-independent. But AFAIK they never say that libdir is not allowed to be architecture independent. But I'm suspecting this is very much off-topic by now. Regards Floris -- Debian GNU/Linux -- The Power of Freedom www.debian.org | www.gnu.org | www.kernel.org
