10 That bug seems to concern mostly Solaris and mostly on SPARC, if I read
11 it correctly. Is that your situation?
12
13 Anyway, the word "profile" in gentoo usually refers to a symlink in /etc
14 pointing to a subdirectory in /usr/portage/profiles/*, like this:
15
16 $ls -l /etc/make.profile
17 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 52 2009-10-23 17:34 /etc/make.profile -> /usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/x86/10.0/desktop
18
19 Now, *my* profile (linux/x86) is a long way from Solaris/SPARC, so YMMV.
20
21 Have a look at /usr/portage/profiles/profiles.desc and see if any of the
22 entries seem to fit your situation.
23
24 Using 64-bit LDFLAGS (/etc/make.conf) on a 32-bit machine seems like a
25 fundamental error that should never occur if you are using the right
26 installation medium (CD?DVD) for your hardware.
27
28 I think more info from you will be needed, but ATM I don't know the right
29 questions to ask you.
30
31 Anyone else?
