Well, now that I have put abi_x86_32 in make.conf and did those 80
packages and fixed the preserved_libs, in my next update it wants to do
199 reinstalls to get every possible package which has that flag -- do I
need all that or should I go back to the individual packages, now that
things are fixed  as far as the libs are concerned?  Do I gain anything
by having all those packages have that flagg set?
