there is just no multilibs ebuild, maybe gert will create one ? :-)

you on now, just add -m32 to gcc for husky :-)

even gert can do this in huskymke.cfg :)

just add -multilib in /etc/make.conf and then its pure 64bit on atlon64 /
opteron, but then you cant make programs with -m32 work anymore

should be okay, even -m16 could do some tricks :-)

gcc 4.x.x is unstable

same problem ?

lets see, but mostly as long gcc works there is hope for the future :-)
