| 5 | Gentoo *does* provide a way to have full multilib support like in other |
| 6 | distros; the "emul-linux-x86-*" binary packages. However, only some |
| 7 | popular and commonly needed packages are provided. |

| 9 | Since Gentoo source based, the approach to multilib taken by other |
| 10 | distros doesn't fit well and Gentoo needs to come up with its own way of |
| 11 | doing multilib. |
