Personally, no. I see more value in a true multilib Gentoo. |

Unfortunately, Gentoo's multilib is "fake". You can't build 32-bit libs |

and packages but have to download "emul" binary packages instead. It is |

by far better (IMO) being able to compile problematic packages as 32-bit |

instead of running a 32-bit userland in a 64-bit kernel. |
