28 I went through that exercise about a month ago, and I needed this:
29
30 /etc/portage/package.use/abi_x86_32:
31
32 >=dev-qt/qtwebkit-4.8.6-r1:4 abi_x86_32
33 >=dev-qt/qtgui-4.8.6-r1:4 abi_x86_32
34 >=dev-qt/qtdbus-4.8.6-r1:4 abi_x86_32
35 >=dev-qt/qtscript-4.8.6-r1:4 abi_x86_32
36 >=dev-qt/qtcore-4.8.6-r1:4 abi_x86_32
37 >=dev-qt/qtxmlpatterns-4.8.6-r1:4 abi_x86_32
38 >=dev-qt/qt3support-4.8.6-r1 abi_x86_32
39 >=dev-qt/qtsql-4.8.6-r1:4 abi_x86_32

43 Apparently I have some 32-bit app that uses Qt, and wine is also in the
44 mix. I imagine the number of possibilities and complications about this
45 can be huge and many folks will need to make their own unique tweaks to
46 package.use, and it'll take a while to shake out all the cruft in the tree
