    You seem to indicate a preference (or need) for the multiarch work that
    Joyent has in progress but not pushed as yet to upstream pkgsrc.
    https://github.com/joyent/pkgsrc/tree/joyent/feature/multiarch/trunk

    Naturally for a contained pkgsrc development environment (which it is),
    bootstrapping a zone for each arch (e.g. i386 and x86_64) is actually
    quite useful (let's ignore for the moment any other architectures)...

    I'm running gnome with ff/tb esr24 on omnios and use it as my dev
    platform primarily with pkgsrc tools, using 32bit for the global zone.
    I also bootstrap two development zones - dev32 and dev64 - respectively
    with --abi=32 and --abi=64.
