Just a small remark, that multilib USE flag isn't used on amd64. It is not even a bug, it's just a flaw in design that a USE-flag, that is not available on this arch is always disabled. In our amd64 case this means multilib-USE-flag is disabled because the multilib support is not optional. (Of course unless you use the 2005.0/no-multilib profile as correctly mentioned above) Greetings, David -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
