Hi,

I'd like to get rid of all 32bits libraries. There are only two packages which 
I'd like to keep and which need some 32bits libraries.
That's
dev-util/android-sdk-update-manager  and app-text/acroread
both of which I use only occasionally.

Look in your make.conf and see if ABI_X86 is defined there. If yes, delete it. Then, in your package.use, at the very top, the first line should be:

  */* -abi_x86_32

This disables the "abi_x86_32" USE flag on all packages that have it. You can then add the "abi_x86_32" USE flag to individual packages on a per-needed basis.

If your package.use is a directory, make sure to put that line on a file that's looked up first (for example "000-abi", the zeroes in front will make sure this file is parsed first).

Then:

  emerge -auDN --with-bdeps=y @world

should take care of doing the needed rebuilds.


Is it possible to install this on /usr/local in such a way that it  doesn't 
interfere with my standard Gentoo installation on /usr?

Not sure what you mean with "interfere." Why would it interfere with anything? If there's file collisions, portage will point them out to you.
