If you install ONLY the 32-bit multilib, the 32-bit version. If you install BOTH the 64-bit and 32-bit packages, the 64-bit version (on all the platforms where 64-bit is preferred, which includes x86_64 and now also ppc64). If you install ONLY the 64-bit package, the 64-bit version.
Yeah which means there isn't really a problem here.
Well, yeah there is the other problem of dependencies and getting a smaller minimal install. For example, libnotify.
# ldd /usr/bin/notify-send | wc -l 44 # ldd /usr/lib64/libnotify.so.1.2.3 | wc -l 12
or how about libmsn # ldd /usr/bin/msntest | wc -l 20 # ldd /usr/lib64/libmsn.so.0.3.0 | wc -l 9
I didn't test all of them, but the extra dependencies are unneeded.
