5 Well in most cases if the versions of the packages installed are same then the
6 distfiles are same. But sometimes certain ebuilds are masked for different
7 archs so you'll have different versions installed on your x86 and amd64
8 machines, in that case the distfiles for those packages would be different.
9 Also there mite be certain ebuilds that install binary files like flash those
10 would be incompatible too.
