yes

it just to have 32bit glibc and 64bit glibc, and a gcc that can build both,
when thats in place the rest is to use -m32 for programs that should use
glibc 32bit

okay, i will go back to this msg when i have my opteron rebuild :(

system libs got brokken last night so its totaly lost :(

the machine runs just fine with postfix and courier-imap and mysql, but not
perl, and not portage / python :(((

gentoo have always 2 python versions installed, but this helps me nothing
here since both python libs are now brokken :(

yes, have to live with it
