There isn't an auto-fix to my knowledge, other than setting the flag globally in make.conf. At heart ABI_X86 is a USE flag and follows all the rules of USE flags - you set them globally or per-package. Do you have an automagic method to enable mysql support for postfix in one step that will set all needed USE? Mo? Well, there isn't one for ABX_X86 either. You set the flag on for the 32 bit apps you have, and follow the chain of incompatible USE all the way to the end. It's a major pain in the butt. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
