If it is a one-off, and not many other people are likely to want to

I usually just build it in a 32-bit chroot, use quickpkg and then expand
that tarball in the 64-bit land. It is a bit messy but it works.
What do you mean by "expand" the tarball? If I merge the tarball in the
/ of my main amd64 system, then I'll lose my amd64 lib, won't I? On my
system /use/lib points to /usr/lib64.
Should /usr/lib point to /usr/lib32 instead? I think it should in the
future, but I was not aware the Gentoo layout was LSB (Linux standard
base) compliant already. Is it?
You could also read the docs - I think there is one on creating emul-
packages if you really want to give this a try.
I've been looking for that one before posting my original message. If
you have a URL, I'll be glad to have it.
