Thank you for the pointer.  I'm not sure that entirely answers my
question.  I'm more or less proposing to leave ftconfig.h entirely out
of the LSB specification.  I'm trying to determine what impact
ftconfig.h has on the API/ABI since it appears that the types used in
the public API are defined in fttypes.h exclusively.

FYI, LSB handles multiple-arches by installing multiple LSB dev packages
at different file system locations.  The lsb build tool 'lsbcc' then
sets up the build to use the LSB installed headers for whatever arch
over system installed headers.

Thanks,

Tracy Camp
