The multilib profiles do not enable ABI_X86="32" by default so the default setup is to only build the 64-bit versions of everything. These profiles give you the _option_ to build both 32-bit and 64-bit things. The only things multilib by default on a multlib profile are pretty much glibc and gcc. > I also am a bit of a purist, and just run no-multilib because it is > emotionally satisfying. The above reasons would make emotional satisfaction and purity the only reasons to go down this road. Doesn't mean they're not valid :)
