Usually. But an ebuild can specify a different distfile for x86 but use |

the same name. This isn't dangerous though, since the checksum will |

catch it. That means you can use the same distfiles directory for both, |

and if you come across an ebuild that does weird stuff, portage will |

bark and re-download the correct distfile. |
