I'm currently running Sabayon on an Ahtlon 64 x2. When I run emerge --sync, it claims that there is an updated version of portage, and I should run emerge portage before updating any packages. When I run emerge -pv portage I get:
These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
