Oh, it should be no problem, as long as one is building a 32-bit firefox,
presumably in one's 32-bit chroot, following the Gentoo/amd64 32-bit
chroot guide.

Of course, if one is building a standard 64-bit firefox and expecting the
32-bit flash shared object plugin to work in the 64-bit firefox process
address space, then one is in for a bit of disappointment, but that's only
common sense so should be expected and go without saying. =8^P
