9 Be very careful if you're doing any cross-compiling. The system
10 headers in Gentoo AMD64 are hacked to allow compiling for both 64 and
11 32-bit. If you try compiling for, say, ARM and it picks up the system
12 headers you get *nothing*....wonderful, eh?

14 To Gentoo devs:
15 Might I suggest that the system headers default to 32-bit?
