The ebuild for mergelog 4.5 is missing the amd64 keyword. I've sucessfully tested the tool on a dual Opteron system. The software has not changed since April 2001, and probably should be marked as x86 instead of ~x86. http://mergelog.sourceforge.net/
Also functional for me on amd64. For such a simple utility, it's hard to say whether the lack of upgrades since 2001 is because it's "done", or because it's not maintained anymore.
