not only because they are a pain in the rear, but they
I wonder if it's worth the trouble. I read here that running a full ~x86
system would probably be easier. And I'd like to try, but while going from
x86 to ~x86 is easy, the other way is quite hard, isn't it? If possible at

assist me in locating the problem, which I assume resulted from an
upgrade.
Sorry, I am looking at /var/log/emerge.log now.
