15 Seems that some important definitions are stored in
16 /usr/portage/profiles/features/multilib/make.defaults and for some
17 reason they are not being honored.

19 That file should be sourced during every emerge, depending on your
20 selected portage profile. What "does eselect profile list" say?
21 Is the selected profile the correct one?
22
