5 I know it does, because grub-0.97 is 32 bit only software, and the
6 package sys-boot/grub-0.97-r14 compiles grub from the sources with
7 dynamic linking. So it needs 32 bit dependencies (packages with
8 USE="abi_x86_32") incl. sys-devel/gcc.

10 If you don't want to have any abi_x86_32 dependencies being installed on
11 your system you need to replace sys-boot/grub-0.97-r14 by
12 sys-boot/grub-static-0.97-r12, because this package contains the grub
13 binary with static linking.

15 The binary of sys-boot/grub-static again is precompiled by the
16 sys-boot/grub-0.97-r14 ebuild with USE="static". So sys-boot/grub-static
17 doesn't need any 32 bit dependencies (packages with USE="abi_x86_32").
