I *beleive* I do have 32-bit support. It's supplied, according to the Gentoo ocs, through some emulation libraries that I do have installed: lightning ~ # qpkg -I | grep emul-linux app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs * app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-compat * app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-glibc * app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs * app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-soundlibs * app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs * lightning ~ # I'll start with these and see how it goes. Additionally I'm building 20050830 on one of my 32-bit machines.
