If you want more specific instructions than provided by the news item,
you'll need to provide more specific details about what is happening
to you and what you want to have happen.

If your goal is to keep running on the old emul-linux-x86-* packages,
then you'll have to maintain them and anything that uses them in your
own overlay, which will be a lot of work.  Support for them in-tree is
being dropped.

If you just want to keep your system working using x86 support in the
native packages then you probably need to let emerge update your
config files to add about 100 use flag accepts.  You might also have a
package or two which stubbornly refused to do the right thing (wine
had the wrong defaults in the tree, and it looks like
android-sdk-update-manager needs some love as well which I'll take
care of once I confirm how it should act).  There are probably other
packages in the tree with problems.
