[gentoo-user] Can't run binary packages

[Grant]

I've emerged firefox-bin and skype successfully, but neither will run
with very similar errors:

$ 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)

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

I have all of the referenced files:

$ ls -l /usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 19912 Nov 30 22:08 /usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher

$ ls -l /opt/firefox/mozilla-xremote-client
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10336 Oct 25 18:27 /opt/firefox/mozilla-xremote-client

$ ls -l /opt/firefox/firefox-bin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10560452 Oct 25 18:27 /opt/firefox/firefox-bin

$ ls -l /usr/bin/skype
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 239 Dec  4 07:15 /usr/bin/skype

$ ls -l /opt/skype/skype
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root audio 18753060 Dec  4 07:15 /opt/skype/skype

Does this make sense to anyone?

This problem looks similar to mine and the solution was apparently:

"downloaded glibc, binutils, and gcc from  tinderbox. Then used emerge
-k to install the prebuilt packages."

I'll do that as soon as qt finishes emerging which might fix skype.

These are specific to skype and the solution only involves the skype
ebuild so I'm sure they won't help with firefox-bin.

Could this have to do with my profile:

$ ls -l /etc/make.profile
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 Nov 30 09:55 /etc/make.profile ->
../usr/portage/profiles/hardened/amd64

Does this sound like a problem caused by my selecting an amd64
non-multilib profile?  That's what I'm getting from the
gentoo-hardened list and I want to be sure before I reinstall.

from what I remember, multilib means "32-bit libraries", and if  
firefox-bin is 32bit, then non-multilib means no firefox - according  
to the prophecy.
