Description Konstantin Shabanov 2008-05-11 14:49:24 UTC
I can't switch to multilib profile from non-multilib because gcc-multilib depends on glibc-multilib and glibc-multilib depends on gcc-multilib.

Reproducible: Always

Don't expect this to change any time soon. multilib profiles are recommended, and as all our documentation says, no-multilib to multilib switches are not supported.
