After some spitballing with Ryan, it would be great if we could finally
drop gcc2h for an "x86_64 hybrid" image.
Ideally:
* We build x86_64 hybrid (with *just* core system libraries as gcc2)
* The BeOS gcc2 compatibility binaries get packaged into an optional
"beos_compat" package
* Install beos_compat, you can run legacy 32-bit BeOS Application
binaries.
Limitations:
* Replicants?
* BeOS drivers wouldn't work... then again I know nobody actually doing
this. (Haiku's drivers are better)
