Cool! =8^)  

Why it'd be putting a 32-bit lib in the standard lib dir is beyond me.  
It's certainly a bug.  It should be in a 32-bit compatibility dir (IDR 
what it was for sure because as I said I don't do multilib now), with 64-
bit libs in lib64, which is usually symlinked one way or the other to lib 
on a Gentoo system.  The only stuff that should go in lib itself (as 
opposed to lib64, even tho the two are linked, the package manager should 
still say lib64 for 64-bit) is bitness independent stuff.  For example, 
bash/perl/python scripts are allowed to install to straight lib.

So hopefully you don't end up needing that emul package for anything and 
don't have to worry about it any more.
