11 Sorry, i missed the part about you not wanting a chroot. As far as I
12 know, portage currently does not support installing 32-bit and 64-bit
13 versions of the same package, i.e. it does not know anything about the
14 bitness a package was compiled for and therefore doesn't use this
15 information for dependency resolution. In other words, it will not know
16 that the X11 libs it installed are 64-bit and that the firefox you want
17 to compile for 32-bits needs the 32-bit X11 libs.
