[gentoo-user] firefox-bin won't start on amd64

[Grant]

I've installed a new 64 bit system and everything is running great
except firefox-bin won't start.  I get a "cannot execute binary file"
error which evidently means I've got a mismatch between the binary and
my system's architecture.  I used an x86_64-hardened stage, my CHOST
is x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, I'm using -march=nocona, and intel.com says my
CPU has 64-bit extensions.  Should I have used multilib somewhere
along the line or something?

Do you have 32 bit execution support in your kernel?

Executable file formats / Emulations -->
│ │ [*] IA32 Emulation │ │

Well, I was sure that was going to work, but now I get:

/usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: line 460: /opt/firefox/firefox-bin: No
such file or directory

and:

/usr/bin/skype: line 10: /opt/skype/skype: No such file or directory

I think there was a totally different path showing up in the error
before.  I re-emerged mozilla-firefox-bin and skype with no success.
Any ideas?

On this box,

$ which firefox-bin
/usr/bin/firefox-bin

Me too, I should have said that.

$ which firefox-bin
/usr/bin/firefox-bin

Here's the whole error:

$ firefox-bin
/usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: line 368:
/opt/firefox/mozilla-xremote-client: No such file or directory
Unknown error 127 from mozilla-xremote-client
/usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: line 460: /opt/firefox/firefox-bin: No
such file or directory
firefox-bin exited with non-zero status (127)

Also:

$ ls /opt/firefox/mozilla-xremote-client
/opt/firefox/mozilla-xremote-client
