But only when the multilib profile is active. I do not know why this is,
and if there are _any_ hacks that might make this possible, but the Gentoo

Warning: Currently you cannot switch from a no-multilib to a multilib-
enabled profile, so think over your decision twice before you use the
no-multilib profile.
