multilib can be, or it used to be able to, turned off so that only 64-bit
versions of the
libs get built.
Normally, it should be turned on and set in the USE string, for most folks on a
x86_64
platform. But, on a system without multilib, turning it on means that, as a
minimum an -
emerge -uDav --newuse system
will need to be performed to rebuild gcc, glibc and all the base system libs so
that the following
get created -
/lib64
/lib32
/usr/lib32
/usr/lib64
and a few other items.
