I've noticed on my amd64 systems that eix prints some nice extra information, such as:

[I] app-portage/portage-utils
     Available versions:  0.1.20 ~0.1.21 ~0.1.22 ~0.1.23
     Installed:           0.1.20(22:36:18 10/16/06)(python)
     Homepage:            http://www.gentoo.org/
     Description:         small and fast portage helper tools written in C

(Some nice coloring and hilighting are also there which don't show up in emails.)

My x86 systems don't show the same thing:

* app-portage/portage-utils
     Available versions:  0.1.20 ~0.1.21 ~0.1.22 ~0.1.23
     Installed:           0.1.20
     Homepage:            http://www.gentoo.org/
     Description:         small and fast portage helper tools written in C

I've been searching and racking my brain trying to find out what the difference is between the amd64 and x86 installs that prevent this from showing up on x86, to no avail. Is there a flag or setting or package that I've overlooked, or is this just a nice feature that's only available on amd64?
