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 
AMD64 FAQ [*] states:

  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.
