Reinstall is not the only way, but it certainly the simplest. http://guymann.github.io/2013/02/11/32bit-gentoo/ Alternatively, instead of building the pkgs in a chroot, you can use multilib pkgs from gentoo experimental. Though, I wouldn't recommend doing it unless you think you are up to it and if needed should seek live help over IRC. -- -- NP-Hardass ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/
