That was going to be my next question!
By the way, I found this:

$ cat /usr/portage/profiles/desc/abi_x86.desc

32 - 32-bit (x86) libraries
64 - 64-bit (amd64) libraries
x32 - x32 ABI libraries

...and searching for USE_EXPAND in
http://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/use-flags/ shows that
USE="abi_x86_32" and ABI_X86="32" have the same meaning, which was my
other doubt.

thanks!
