5 There is not an overlay for make.conf, nor will there ever be due to
6 catalyst's design. Remember that this is a release-building tool, which
7 means we would *never* use software that isn't marked stable.

9 You can use your envscript to export ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" but that
10 will *not* make it into any stages/LiveCD's make.conf file. Of course,
11 if you're not using the Installer, then it doesn't matter much on a
12 LiveCD, but it could have some pretty drastic consequences on stages.

14 The simple answer is... don't.
15
16 If you need a ~arch package, mark it stable in your snapshot prior to
17 starting your build.
