I just updated Gentoo on my old backup machine, an 11-year-old Dell

extra hassle, but I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything obvious.
Same here, nothing to worry about:
"In the new profiles, the lib->lib64 compatibility symlink is removed.
64-bit libraries need to be installed directly to lib64. /lib
and /usr/lib become real directories, that are used for cross-arch
and native non-library packages (gcc, clang) and 32-bit libraries
on the multilib profile (which improves compatibility with prebuilt x86
packages)." [1]
On x86 system there is no lib32 nor lib64, everything is already under lib.
