That's up to personal preference. You've already found a few on this |
| 10 |
list telling you that you should just set it in make.conf. You won't |
| 11 |
have trouble finding many others (including me) who will tell you to |
| 12 |
just stick it in package.use when needed only. |

The only thing you gain is being able to run 32-bit applications |
| 15 |
against those libraries, even if you don't have any need to. The only |
| 16 |
thing you lose is a bunch of inodes, and maybe some compile time. |
