The +reason for this is that most modern OpenCL providers currently available +from Gentoo only support the 64-bit ABI anyway. Therefore, we intend +to initially mask: + - virtual/opencl in x86 profiles, + - USE=abi_x86_32 for virtual/opencl in all profiles, and + - USE=opencl in x86 profiles. +and follow up with removal of multilib support and x86 keywords from +virtual/opencl. + +Note that this change will only affect the virtual package, i.e. OpenCL +providers which do support ABI_X86_32 will continue to advertise this +capability. Users of such providers who wish to retain 32-bit OpenCL +support are advised to add virtual/opencl to package.provided; see +portage(5) for details.
