5 Btw, the reason you can't use ${ARCH} (or any other variable which will
6 change depending on the environment) is because portage will be unable
7 to compute the digest properly. On the other hand, when you use x86? or
8 similar, then portage can "pretend" to be all the arches and USE-flags
9 at once, so the digest can be computed.
