Gentoo-wiki is of limited reliability, because there are not enough = people with time to edit it. It's very possible that article is out of = date - if you're talking about this page = then notice that = it's barely been edited since it was "imported from the archives" a year = ago. The Great Gentoo Wiki Data Loss was another year before that, so = deity only knows how old that information is. Stroller.
