19 Usually yes, but there is a work-around:
20
21 Create a temporary chroot with a non-no-multilib installation.
22 Use that to create binary packages.
23 Then change the profile of the main installation to a non-no-multilib profile
24 Using the packages created in the chroot, do an "emerge -e @world"
25
26 That worked for me. (Found this in a blogposting somewhere)
