The CPU optimizations for the 32 bit build of mpg123 are not getting enabled. Running ./configure by hand works. After the regular Gentoo install this is what I get: $ mpg123 --list-cpu Builtin decoders: generic And the benchmark: [2:48] Decoding of Johnny Cash - The Long Black Veil.mp3 finished. real 0m6.164s user 0m6.020s sys 0m0.100s The configure options passed to configure contain "--with-cpu=generic_fpu" which you can see at the top of the build log, so that is the problem. It should be "--with-cpu=sse" for my Pentium III here with the sse USE flag. What it should look like is this: $ src/mpg123 --list-cpu Builtin decoders: SSE And the benchmark with SSE: [2:48] Decoding of Johnny Cash - The Long Black Veil.mp3 finished. real 0m4.018s user 0m3.883s sys 0m0.133s But I had to run configure by hand with the sse option to make it compile properly. You can also select "x86" for CPU optimizations and it will add all the optimizations in to the binary and turn them on depending on the capabilities of the CPU when it is run. I'm attaching the build log.

Does changing if [[ ${ABI} = x86 ]]; then to if use x86; then in the ebuild solve your problem? That change was made for bug 295075.
And this is a duplicate of bug 313729.
After that change it went to x86 now! So yeah that worked. What does ${ABI} mean anyway?
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 295075 ***
In bug 295075 the "fixed" ebuild that was attached there contains this: if [[ ${ABI} = x86 ]]; then _cpu=i586 use mmx && _cpu=mmx use 3dnow && _cpu=3dnow use sse && _cpu=x86 use 3dnowext && _cpu=x86 fi Which is what I had in portage, and I had to change "if [[ ${ABI} = x86 ]]; then" to "if use x86; then" to make it work. So I don't think that bug is resolved yet.
I fixed it differently, just emerge --sync to get the updated ebuild
I just did --sync and emerge mpg123 and it is still broken. The ebuild still contains this problematic code. Apparently that if statement is always false. if [[ ${ABI} = x86 ]]; then _cpu=i586 use mmx && _cpu=mmx use 3dnow && _cpu=3dnow use sse && _cpu=x86 use 3dnowext && _cpu=x86 fi
