It is, as you are not using a no-multilib profile. |

No. |

No, that is a fairly basic profile. |

Your problem is different but has been covered in previous threads, as |
| 47 |
well as the news item. You could add ABI_X86="32 64" to make.conf, but |
| 48 |
that won't fit in with your desire for minimalism. So you need to run |
| 49 |
emerge with --autounmask-write then run etc-update or equivalent to apply |
| 50 |
the changes to package.use. |
