7 I'm not the Qt maintainer, so this is simply a guess, but without
8 investigating to deeply, probably because portage isn't setup to handle
9 full dual-arch, that is, with a few toolchain exceptions (glibc, gcc,
10 binutils, portage's sandbox) it handles 64-bit only, on amd64. If you
11 want 32-bit, you either emerge the precompiled 32-bit binaries, or use a
12 32-bit chroot, thus keeping the 32-bit portage database separate from the
13 main system (64-bit) portage database. Since portage doesn't have to
14 worry about keeping the two separate, the Qt build can use the generic
15 linux-g++, instead of having to track 64-bit separately from 32-bit as it
16 would if they were built and delivered together in the same package.
