True, I used "KEYWORDS='~x86'" but I've got "ACCEPT_KEYWORDS='~x86'" in make.conf. But just to be thorough, I changed it to 'x86' and it still doesn't work.
I emerged it before copying it to PORTAGE_OVERLAY, though. Perhaps I should unmerge and merge again? I can't find anything in /var/db/pkg/sys-devel/gcc-3.3.1 that links that package to /usr/portage, however, so I don't think that'll work either. Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
