Welcome to hell. No, that's possible, as others pointed out. There was |
| 13 |
an initiative to bring true multilib to Gentoo a year or so back (maybe |
| 14 |
more) but it seems it died and no one's working on it. |

For your browser this is probably not so problematic. But imagine |
| 17 |
someone running the latest graphics stack (libdrm, mesa, etc.) on his |
| 18 |
64bit machine, but its totally useless because proprietary Linux games |
| 19 |
are 32bit and thus won't run. |

It's 2010 and Gentoo still hasn't solved that :-/ |
