There's a multilib overlay that will allow you to build 32 bits software on a 64 bits OS. But it's completely unsupported, don't expect it to work flawlessly.

Or he could just ignore the warnings about 32/64 bit issues n the ebuild and use nspluginwrapper. That's what I use on latest Firefox, Konqueror, Chrome, Rekons and Arora. It works everywhere but flash does use excessive CPU, but that is a characteristic of flash, not of the wrapper -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

Can I emerge ? * There are a few binary packages in Portage that are 32-bit binaries. In your case, specifically, there is firefox-bin and chromium-bin. Those should emerge and run fine on a multilib system, after emerging the correct 32-bit compatibility packages. Note that Flash will run *a lot* slower than you're probably used to in this setup. * For other web browsers, you could build your own 32-bit software on the 64-bit system. That's trickier, but there is a cross-dev system available in portage you can use to ease the pain a bit. Personally I'd just go with one of the binary browser packages. * You could try using the nspluginwrapper package, which was built just for this purpose (loading 32-bit plugins into a 64-bit browser). Flash only worked sporadically for me under nspluginwrapper, but apparently others have a lot of success with it. * Or, you can do what I did, and mask off adobe-flash-10.0.53*, so you will still have the 64-bit Flash Player available until Adobe gets their act together and releases a newer version. It limits you to those Flash applications where you already know and trust the publisher, since there's a list as long as my arm of security fixes in 10.0.53.64, but that's good enough for me for now.

You can use www-plugins/nspluginwrapper to use 32bit plugins in a 64bit browser. But yes, you can emerge www-client/firefox-bin. This is a precompiled 32bit firefox, that runs the flashplugin without nspluginwrapper. That should at least answer one question :) Greetings Johannes Kimmel
