I sure hope not.... there is a lot of work involved to bring up
toolchains and all the applications to support two different userlands.
We still have a lot of work to do just to stablize 32-bit userspace.
Check the list archives, this has been discussed before, and once fairly
recently.
This is not to say it couldn't be done of course. This is GNU/Linux, you
have all the source, go nuts.. :-)
But now you have me curious, what app are you writing that needs >4G of
address space?
